Usage Note
Contradecir follows the same irregular conjugation as decir: present contradigo, contradices; preterite contradije; imperative contradice (tú). The reflexive contradecirse means to contradict oneself. It is stronger and more direct than desmentir (to deny) or refutar (to refute).
Examples
"No me gusta que me contradigan en público."
Natural Translation
I don't like to be contradicted in public.
