nobody help you :x
It really depends on the context of where the phrase is used and how. Without more contextual information it is hard to say.
So far as I know, nobody is a third-person pronoun, so it should be 'helps'. :D

Right, it would either be "nobody helped you" as in the past or "no body helps you" as a general statement.
Surely, it must be NOBODY HELPS YOU, but if it is imperative with subject, It is ok without S
QUE NADIE TE AYUDE= NOBODY HELP YOU!
NADIE TE AYUDA = NOBODY HEPS YOU!
Nobody help you! As an imperative does not work in English since the command is not directed at that person but to everybody else. It would be "Nobody help her!"
I am not sure about what you say amayo.
"everybody else" can perfectly be "you"
nobody help her/ him/ you= que nadie la ayude/lo ayude/ te ayude. I think it doesn't make any difference.
I´m sorry but "Nobody help you!" is grammatically incorrect. "Que nadie te aydue" in English would be "I hope that nobody helps you". The way you are using que is to express a desire. This structure doesn´t work in English. In English you have to construct the entire sentence.
I agree with amayo, if you say "nobody help you" is incorrect. Either you would need to add an S to help or add more to the sentence, like "Nobody will help you". "Que nadie la ayude/lo ayude/te ayude" can be taken differently. It all depends if it is being said as a command. "I hope that nobody helps you" I wouldn't say is the correct either because of the word Hope in the sentence.
It would be great if some native speaker can say something about it.
yes, but we need to have some context even though for a native speaker. Because "Nobody help you" isn't correct anyways. It should be "Nobody helps you" or "Nobody helped you". ???
What is the translation of "Que nadie te aydue" in English then? I thought it was an expression of a desire i.e hope, wish, ect.
Hello everybody!! Native here. Sorry diegonel. They're right, "Nobody help you" is incorrect. Nobody helps; nobody will help; nobody to help; nobody can help; nobody wants to help; etc., etc.
I know Vicente that right grammar reads "Nobody helps you" but what I think of is the possibility of using "nobody help you" as an imperative form. "God save theQueen" or "God bless you"
So, in in both case there is a desire or hope, a request.
My question is: what about if wanted to say that you don't want anyone to help somebdoy and it were an order?
How would you say it? "Nobody will help you" or "I don't anyone to help you" but it weakens the strenght of an order somehow. Maybe que question here is the pronoun "you"
Could you say as an order or desire "Nobody help him" an imperative with subject?
Let me know
Kind Regards
Yes!... you could say it that way diegonel....something like, " This person is a criminal, nobody help him! " Vey good!
thanks you;)
Yes...you did point that out before amayo. Sorry:( I didn't read backwards as thoroughly as I should have. "I guess God gets to break grammatical rules" Right! Who's going to argue with Him!!?:D
No harm no foul!! :)
