A question about "lo"
1
vote
I've seen this word used in many different contexts and I understand that it means "it" but the placement of the word within the sentence always confuses me. Can someone give me some rules/guidelines abuot the usage of the word "lo"? Maybe point me in the direction of the lesson that Paralee addresses this?

There are two reference articles on "lo" here ,one about lo as the neuter definite article (although I believe it is also mentioned in the regular definite article article as well) and another on its use as a definte object pronoun. That should get you started.

No I have not and I'm not able to watch it now; does it discuss how lo is used? - brainlady, Jun 2, 2011
Yes, it gives examples of direct and indirect object pronouns. :) - 0066c384, Jun 2, 2011

Like you say it has several different uses, and can mean a lot more than just "it". Do you have a specific example?

No I do not, I'm looking for guidelines as to when to use lo because it doesn't seem to be used the same way "it" is in English - brainlady, Jun 2, 2011
