Questions about IO and DO pronouns use: particularly about "Darle"

Question

I believe I fully understand how to us IO and DO pronouns in indicative and imperative statements. Today I re-learned that commands (with one verb) require they be placed after the "conjugated" verb, unless it's a negative command, and then some irregular conjugations may be involved.

The robots showed me "Darlo", while using one verb. Does this imply the robot makers expect us to know "Dar" should be conjugated. Or, did they simply make a mistake. This may sound silly, but I can't help it. I get the same answer no matter which robot I use. Perhaps the answer is the one we always use, "bots just make mistakes"

Answer 1

I agree with pikapower.

• Darlo ("lo" is direct)

• Darle ("le" is indirect).

Answer 2

Actually it matters Darle is indirect while it would be darlo it would be direct.
