*Some regions use le as the direct object pronoun for a singular male

OK...so is my answer incorrect? - Goyo, Sep 12, 2009

You need the personal a as the direct object will be a person. - - 0074b507, Sep 12, 2009

Muchas gracias. - Goyo, Sep 12, 2009

if you use the axxx you need the redundant object pronoun. - 0074b507, Sep 12, 2009

Answer 2

I love my mom = Amo a mi mamá. I love my dog = Amo a mi perro.

Can anyone shed any light on this situation? The article that I read said that if any of the (a mí, a ti, a él, a ustedes, etc.) pronouns were used then the redundant object pronoun also had to be used.

Te amo a ti. (since the a ti is there, the Te must be also).

But it did not explain if that included the personal a +d.o. that weren't pronouns. Now in the lessons here, we are told if there is an i.o. in the sentence there should be an i.o. redundant pronoun. (It doesn't matter if the i.o. is a pronoun or a noun).

Le di el libro a Maria. (María being a noun, not a pronoun still requires the i.o.p)

Does the same hold direct objects with the personal a.

Amo a mí mamá. Amo a mi perro.

Do we need the redundant object pronoun? Does it matter if what comes after the personal a is a noun or pronoun?

This is a rule of Spanish grammar: Whenever you use the prepositional personal pronouns with the a preposition (a mí, a ti, a él, etc.) to express a direct or an indirect object in a sentence (usually in order to emphasize), you must "dupplicate" this object with the corresponding direct or indirect object pronoun. Conoces a mí is wrong. Me conoces a mí or me conoces are right. Conoció a ellos is wrong. Los conoció a ellos or los conoció are right.

As you see this rule mentions pronouns, but not nouns so we're left wondering.

Answer 3

If it's an object, it's "Me encanta _________"

If it's a person, probably better with "Lo amo a ______"

Or "Lo adoro a _________".

no im talking about a person ;D - Twinkie, Sep 12, 2009

The lo is ok as long as the person is a male. (we don't want to make judgements):-) - 0074b507, Sep 12, 2009
