Derived terms
Italian
Pronoun
-lo
- (enclitic) Alternative form of lo
- dare (“to give”) → darlo (“to give it”)
- vendere (“to sell”) → venderlo (“to sell it”)
- servire (“to serve”) → servirlo (“to serve it”)
- mangia (“eat!”) → mangialo (“eat it!”)
Usage notes
- Appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive accusative forms when the object is third singular masculine person. Also appended to second singular person imperative forms. The final -e of the original infinitive is removed :
- -are → -arlo
- -ere → -erlo
- -ire → -irlo
Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:
- introdurre (“to introduce”) → introdurlo (“to introduce him”)
In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -lo.
