ROSARITO SPANISH STUDY GROUP - TODAY'S WORD(S)

LELO (Mex.) - SILLY, "GOOFY," DISPLAYING A PHYSICALLY UNSTEADY OR IMPEDED MANNER. 

Le or Les cannot be combined with Lo, La, Los, or Las; Le and Les change to Se when used together with these direct object pronouns..

Example: Roberto le mandó las flores a ella.   Roberto se las mandó.

Roberto sent (to her) the flowers (to her).   Roberto sent to her them (the flowers).

Note: When using the inflected form of a verb, the indirect object pronoun precedes the direct object pronoun, which in turn, preceeds the inflected verb.

The command form is an exception, i.e., Damelo, or Ven damelo (the indirect object and direct object pronouns follow the command form).

Give me it. (or Give it to me) or Come here and give it to me (familiar).  The latter phrase may denote a brusque and demanding manner. 

Lalo* decided to give it to him.  Lalo decidía a darselo.

*Lalo is a name of Latin origin, and the meaning of Lalo is "to sing a lullaby."

There is an "IT" in Spanish.
