Usage Note

Mandar means both 'to send' (mandar una carta) and 'to order' or 'to be in charge' (aquí mando yo — I am the one in charge here). In Latin America mandar often replaces enviar for sending messages or objects; in Spain both are current. Mandar a alguien can also mean to send someone away, sometimes rudely.
