me, te, le, nos, les'''''''? what are these''?

Question

What does me, te, le, nos, and les mean? and how do I use them? and what words do I use them with? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

They are indirect object pronoun. Roughly, they indicate who or what receives whatever the verb indicates.

Dame un dólar = Give me a dollar
Dale un dólar = Give him/her a dollar
Dales un dólar = Give them a dollar

Me gusta la carne = I like meat (literally: To me, meat is pleasing)
Nos gusta la carne = We like meat (literally: To us, meat is pleasing)

P.S. And yes, they mean the same in Latin America and Spain, don't worry! (it is the same language, you know)

Answer 3

I just learn about those with Paralee. Basically they shorten the sentence like instead of saying "I gave the cake to Mark. Mark gave the cake to John. John gave the cake to Paul etc... It's like saying "I gave the cake to Mark. Mark gave it to John. John gave it to him. Direct Object- Mark gave "what" to John. The cake Indirect Object- Mark gave the cake to "who". John Direct Object Pronouns are lo( if the D.O. is mascaline and singular), la( feminine and singular), los(masculine and plural, las(feminine and plural) Indirect Object Pronouns- Me(to me), Te(to you), Le(to him/her/it, Nos(to us), Os(to yall in spain only), Les(to yall or to them), Las( to them if all women)

Mark gave the cake to John. Mark da el pastel a John. Mark da lo a John. Mark da lo le. Both the I.O. and the D.O. goes before the verb but the I.O. goes before the D.O. Mark le lo da When both the I.O. and the D.O. start with L change the I.O. to start with S Mark se lo da Mark gave it to him. Hope this helps.

why does one word spell the same way said differant?

If an accent mark is placed on a vowel, it will change the way the word sounds (which part receives emphasis). - danrivera, May 21, 2011

Depending on how you are coming to the conclusion that one word can be said different ways, it may also be a matter of dialect. In English, we have "potato/potato" & "tomato/tomato". I'm sure you've heard these. - danrivera, May 21, 2011
