A Word with Two Parts
This word is a combination of 'déjen' (the command for 'you all') and 'lo' (meaning 'it' or 'him').
Why the Accent?
When you attach words like 'lo' to the end of a command, you add an accent mark to the original stressed vowel so the pronunciation stays the same.
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: “dejenlo”
Correction: déjenlo (The accent is required because the stress is on the third-to-last syllable).
Wrong Number of People
Mistake: “Using déjenlo for one person.”
Correction: Use 'déjalo' for a friend or 'déjelo' for a formal person. 'Déjenlo' is only for a group of people.
