Verbs that require an indirect object
I searched for a list of Spanish verbs that require an indirect object, but I didn't find one. If you have a link to a list like that, please post it here. If you don't have a link, please list all the verbs you can think of that require (or typically use) an indirect object.
Here are just a few:
Hablar
Contar
Decir
Gustar
Robar
Explicar
Thanks

HI Calvo, I don't know what you mean.
Most of the verbs above are transitive verbs, that is they require a direct object, not necessarily and indirect one.
Lo digo.
Lo explico.
Intransitive verbs do not have a direct or indirect object. For example :
nacer, crecer, brincar, salir, morir, vivir, etc.
Wouldn't that include most of the verbs that we precede with me/se/le ...? Me llamo ... me importa...
Just would like clarification before accepting the challenge.
