In this lesson, to say “if I were you” the text says “yo de tú lo cogería” but the audio sounds like yo de ti. Which is correct? And is there a difference between this and yo que tu? Thanks!
Must start with <>.
And what follows sounds wrong, but let me check on that.

<> is better.
There is a remote possibility this is colloquial speech from a smaller subset of the Spanish speaking world, BUT DO NOT use it … It is BAD in Mexico, and other parts of Latin America. <> means ’to rape,’ and is used as profanity.
I checked with my Spanish Teacher, (Mom).
I just started work on Mexican Spanish, again. Russian is killing my Spanish …
Wlliam,
As to your second question: ’de ti‘ or ‘fue tu.’ I unplugged my Spanish keyboard to work more on Russian, so I dropped the accents.

The audio says “de ti”, but we usually say “Yo que tú”
