A question about "i"

This,"i se los dimos en marshalls" was written in an email and I read it as "I got them at Marshall's". However, is the "i" a mistake?

My guess would have been it was meant to be "Y" for "and." Just a guess, though.

Hola, I think macfadden is right about the y.

Many Spanish speakers sometimes misspell words, or transpose letters that are pronounced the same.

Dimos is the 1st person plural simple past tense of dar - to give. Los = them. Se can be singular or plural 3rd person, meaning, to him/her/you/them. Se can also mean each other.

and we gave them to him/her/them at Marshall's, and we gave them to each other at Marshall's or possibly, and we exchanged them at Marshall's. If the latter is the case,it may be an idiom.cool smile
