This sentences translates to "What is it with you and insects". I just don't know why "le" is in there. How do I know when to use that extra pronoun. It seems like without it the sentence still says that same thing.

Could you give more context, what are they talking about? - annierats, Jan 20, 2014

I could be wrong, but this is what I believe is happening in that sentence. you're not saying that you see insects, are you? you're saying that you see something in insects. I would translate the sentence as "what isit that you see in insects. does that explain the extra object pronoun?

I think you could be on to something but in that case wouldn't you expect the iop to be 'les'? - Kiwi-Girl, Jan 20, 2014
