please explain grammar rule for this sentence
I am a beginner Spanish student. I wanted to learn how to say: I would like to talk to you about last night. I thought it would be "Me gustaria hablar con usted . . . " but I didn't know how to say about last night. This is what I got on google translate: "Me gustaría hablar contigo sobre lo de anoche." So - sobre means about, but why does last night translate in this sentence to "lo de anoche." What does the "lo" refer to? Also, is "contigo" the informal way of saying "con usted"? (I would have guessed "con tu"??) Thanks for your help!

Lo means that as in that which happened. You are wanting to talk to them about that which happened last night.
You might also say 'Me gustaría hablar contigo de anoche' - that makes for a more literal translation.
Contigo is simply how you say with you, con tú is incorrect, it one of those things that you just have to learn.
