You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn’t understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it.

Can a DM refuse a word in a command spell?
When you speak one word that differs from that list then it’s up to the DM to interpret it. Technically the DM should allow any word, and interpret it fairly.

Can you command someone under the effect of charm person?
You could command someone who is under the effect of Charm Person because there’s no contradiction in effects there. I disagree with that interpretation. That rule states the same spell cast Command and Dominate Person are not the same spell. Indeed they are not. Do you have better guidance on what happens when two spell effects are in opposition?
