How to Say "allow it" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “allow it” is “déjelo” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

The Formal Command
This word is a command telling 'usted' (the formal way of saying 'you') to do something. The base command form is 'deje'.
Attaching the Pronoun
In Spanish, when you give a positive command, the pronoun ('lo' meaning 'it/him') is always glued onto the end of the verb.
The Necessary Accent
The little line (accent mark) on the 'é' is crucial! It tells you to keep the stress on the first syllable, 'DEH-jeh-lo,' even after adding the pronoun. Without it, the stress would shift to the middle syllable.
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: “Dejelo”
Correction: Déjelo. Always add the accent mark when attaching a pronoun to a command that has two or more syllables, so you pronounce it correctly.
Incorrect Word Order
Mistake: “Lo deje”
Correction: Déjelo. You only put the pronoun ('lo') before the verb when the command is negative (e.g., 'No lo deje'). For positive commands, it must be attached.
