💡 Grammar Points
Three Words in One
This word is a combination of the command 'suelta' (let go) and 'la' (her/it). In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something, you attach the 'it' or 'her' directly to the end of the action word.

When to use 'la'
Use 'suéltala' only when the thing or person being let go is feminine (like 'la pelota' or 'la niña'). If it's masculine, use 'suéltalo'!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there an accent on the 'e'?
Adding 'la' to 'suelta' makes the word longer. To keep the stress on the 'suel' sound where it belongs, Spanish rules require a written accent.
Can I use this for 'Let it go' like the song?
Usually, the song 'Let it go' is translated as '¡Libre soy!' (I am free), but if you were telling someone to physically release an object, 'suéltala' or 'suéltalo' would be perfect.
