Common/idiomatic ways of saying "Tell me if there's anything you need help with."

Question

I am trying to find natural-sounding ways of saying things like: "Let me know if there is anything you need help with" or "Tell me if there's something I can help you with".

In my basic Spanish, I would probably just come up with something like "Dime si necesitas ayuda con algo" o "Dime si hay algo con que yo puedo ayudarte."

But I am wondering how native speakers might communicate this. What are common/idiomatic ways of expressing this? (particularly in Mexico or other Central American countries)

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think the options that you propose are valid, only that in the second case I would use the subjunctive instead of the indicative, and I would elide the pronoun yo. I would also consider the variant lo que for the relative pronoun, although it is not mandatory:

Dime si hay algo con (lo) que pueda ayudarte.

I suggest another version of the phrase where the word order changes a little bit:

Dime si puedo ayudarte con/en algo.

Another option, rephrasing it completely, and kind of shorter:

Dime si puedo hacer algo por ti.

This last version has a wider application, but you can use it in the context that you need.

Answer 2

In addition to the answer by Alicia, you might take into consideration the regional variant in Argentina and Uruguay: decime instead of dime. It can be used in all the previous cases.

• Decime si hay algo con (lo) que pueda ayudarte.
• Decime si puedo ayudarte con/en algo.
• Decime si puedo hacer algo por ti.

Answer 3

As i remember in some mexican tv shows (as Chespirito, el Chavo or Cantinflas movies), is more used the sentences with Digame (with the pronoun Usted) so you could said something like:

Digame si le ayudo con algo or Digame si necesita mi ayuda or Digame en que le puedo ayudar etc.
