Object pronoun placement preferences?

Question

`Quiero verte` and `te quiero ver` both mean the same thing and are both grammatically and syntactically correct. Other similar pairs that come to mind are: - `Voy a llamarle` vs. `le voy a llamar` - `Puedes decirme` vs. `me puedes decir` I understand these are just two ways of saying the same thing but am still curious to know if one is still preferred over the other in real-life conversations. Is there any regional bias between the two? If regionalism does play a role, I would like to know which of the two syntaxes would a Latin American speaker typically use in regular street conversations.

Answer 1

Both forms are correct; I have found that in Spain, it is more common to put the pronoun before the conjugated verb rather than to attach it to the infinitive. I'm not certain about specific Latin American countries, but I would say that in general, it is more common to attach the pronoun to the infinitive.
