Feliz asks me about "the bit to 'them'". I could have written "Se lo diré a ellos". That would have given "them"more enphasis. "Se" is "them", the indirect object pronoun.

"Lo diré"= "I will say it."

"Se lo diré"=I will say it to him/her/it.

"Le diré eso de la feria="I will tell him/her/it about the fair. "Le sigue being the indirect object pronoun.

I am certain that "Se lo diré" is correct. I am not certain that "Le diré" is incorrect. Languages are living things and they evolve.

Thank you , Don. I asked my native Spanish teacher about this in my class this evening and she looked at my post and made suggestions for correction which I have made and she explained why se lo diré is correct :) - FELIZ77, Jun 12, 2017

Hello David,

Welcome to our Spanishdict community forum smile

You wrote:

Ok I will tell them

Please write a proper question next time you want to ask something in our forum! I will give you an example how to do this: How do you say, okay, I will tell them!

Jtaniel is correct in using Ok which is common. You can also say any of these others options below which are also correct and commonly used and you will be understood!:

1.Vale, se lo diré a ellos (España)

2.De acuerdo, se lo diré a ellos

3.Bueno, se lo diré a ellos

These other 3 examples that use the future imdicative which should be used for actions that will happen at some unspecified time in the future!

Spanish is a very flexible language which usually allows for many ways to say the same thing /to express the same idea using different words! wink

I hope this helps smile

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

¿Qué vas a decirles, David?

Creo que la frase debe ser, "Está bien. Se lo diré." "I will tell IT to them." In English the "IT" is understood. I don't believe this is so in correct Spanish, although one may hear or read it upon occasion.
