Do Direct or Indirect Objects come first?

Question

Do direct or indirect objects come first? For example, I want to say this:

I give it to you.

Would it be Yo le te doy.

Or would it be Yo te le doy.

Le is an indirect object pronoun. Unless you're giving you to him or her. The second sentence. Welcome to the forum. Please put you gender and proficiency in English and Spanish in your profile. - Jubilado, May 23, 2016

I really doubt, as written, either are truly correct, but clearly they do not say I give it to you. :) - bosquederoble, May 24, 2016

If you understand what Jubilado's comment implies, you should see why. :) - bosquederoble, May 24, 2016

Answer 1

Hello, IOP goes first... Here is an equation: Subject + Iop + dop + Verb... So it would be yo le te doy.

Welcome to SpanishDict. Thanks for your help. We are trying to get the OP to do some research and take responsibility for her own work. - rac1, May 24, 2016

Yo le te doy is a sentnece that I suspect native speakers would not like that seems to say "I give you to him/her". :) - bosquederoble, May 24, 2016

Yo te L O doy. or if the thing is feminine, "yo te L A doy." - Daniela2041, May 24, 2016

Hmmmmm. This guy/girl doesn't respond to requests for profile, nor does she give votes or even seem to pay any attention to what we do here.¡ Basta ya esta tontería! - Daniela2041, May 24, 2016
