Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'suéltalo' written as one word?
In Spanish, when you give an affirmative command, any attached pronouns (like 'lo', 'la', 'me', 'te') must be physically attached to the end of the verb, forming a single word.
What if the object I want someone to release is feminine, like 'la pelota' (the ball)?
You would replace the masculine pronoun 'lo' with the feminine pronoun 'la', resulting in the command 'Suéltala' (Let go of her/it).
