"Le pegó" exact translation

Question

"Le pegó" "Le pegó"

what does it mean?

It came as a subtitle and the girl actually said "He hit him, he hit him!"

Is the "Le" referring to "you" or "him"? Because usually it refers to "you" when placed at the beginning of the sentence right? I really dislike that "Le" can refer to basically anyone.

Thanks

Hola,

We meet again.

With some verbs "le" is used as a direct object, and "pegar" is one of them.

As in your previous question many times the "le" is used along with the actual direct object. This is a little different, there is obviously an antecedent here--some boy, I'll call him José. Somebody hit José and the girl cried "He hit him, He hit him"

If I were to put both the "le" and the actual direct object in the sentence it would go something like this:

"Le pegó a José" "Le pegó a José" Remember with "pegar" "le" is used as a direct object. There is a more complicated rule that it seems that only native speakers understand, but for a beginner, my simplified rule will serve you well.

I hope that I have made this understandable to you.

I see your filled out your profile, thanks. - Daniela2041, Dec 25, 2014

lol, thanks again! So "Le" in this case means "him". - chrismabazza, Dec 25, 2014
