How do I say, I heard him say?
How do I say, "I heard him say" something blasphemous?
2 Answers
The first one is perfect.
The second one is a case of "loísmo", to replace le by lo. Although this is incorrect it is a very common mistake, even in natives.
And the third one... squeaks!
delete-99% sure it is incorrect
Le oí decir algo blasfemo.
Not a native, just a wild guess (the machine translator liked it, however.)
The machine translator rendered
Lo oí decir algo blasfemo.
as having the same meaning. That can't be correct. I think the first one would have to be I heard something blasphemous said to him and maybe the 2nd one is I heard him say something blasphemous.
Oí que él dijera algo blasfemo.
That translator is useless. It translates this the same as the other two sentences.
It says all 3 are correct. That means all 3 are incorrect. Wait for a native.
