The correct use of ?los?

Question

Consider the translation: I want to him bring you all happiness/ Quiero que los traiga mucha felicidad. Would this be the right translation? I'm particularly interested if I'm using "los" correctly. What if I wanted to say "Thank you all very much and may 2008 bring you much happiness"? My Instinct tells me "Graciás otra vez a todo ý que dos mil ý ocho los traiga mucha felicidad. But I'm not sure about the 'los'. Would "les" be better? Why or why not'

Answer 1

Yep, because this could be wrote as I want him to bring the happiness to you all. Usually, when it can be written with a to, then it is the les.

Answer 2

I second the use of the indirect object les here.

Answer 3

I think that les is correct because that's the indirect object form. In this case, happiness is the direct object and they (les) is the indirect object.
