Ir verbs
Hello

If i want to say in Spanish "I live", I should say: yo vivo --> to drop the "ir" and to add an "o".
Therefore when I want to say "I say", I should say: yo deco --> to drop the "ir" and to add an "o".
But when I try to translate it via google translate, it has no meaning, so what's the correct word for it?

Vivo en... (I live...).
Vives en... (you live...).

There's no need to say 'yo' because the verb ending conveys the person.

Digo... (I am saying/I say).
Digo que... (I am saying that).

Vivir is a regular verb and decir is an irregular verb.
