I'm reading a book and there's this phrase:
Te elegimos a ti en concreto
I wonder in what situations should the objective pronoum be repeated this way. Or it's allowed to be repeated.
Te
is weak and unstressed. If you want to stress the fact that it was you the one we chose, you have to add the stressed pronoun.
Te elegimos → We chose you.
Te elegimos a ti → We chose you.
This applies in general:
Te lo dije → I said it to you.
Te lo dije a ti → I said it to you (and not to him)
etc.
me gusta...
people almost always saya mí me gusta...
(at least when starting a sentence) as a form of politeness to emphasize that it is only your liking and not necessarily universal. Also see: buscon.rae.es/dpdI/…
