leerlo, escribirlo, pensarlo, hacerlo

[celador]

I see these combination words frequently. What is the rule for creating these compounds that use some form of it, they, you etc on the end of the verb?

Can I add la, las, lo, los to most any verb?

Where might I find a list of the (30-50 or so) most commonly used ones?
- or maybe someone could crearlos ?


cuida te o cuidate,
Juan.

Buff, grammar. I will wait for Tomisimo :D
"Si después de desearla, esperarla, quererla, amarla y dudarla, la respuesta no te satisface, deberás envidiarla, odiarla, maltratarla, despojarla y finalmente, matarla."

cuidate celador :D

[Tomisimo]

Yes, you can attach an object pronoun to the end of the infinitive in Spanish, it also works with the present progressive form as well. Alternatively, you can put the pronoun before the conjugated verb.

Voy a pensarlo. Voy a hacerlo.

This can also be:

Lo voy a pensar. Lo voy a hacer.

It also works with the "-ing" forms

Estaba pensándolo. Estaba haciéndolo.
Lo estaba pensando. Lo estaba haciendo.

Hope that helps answer your question. If not, keep asking and I'll keep trying to answer :)


EDIT: This works with all verbs too.

que significa "cuidate" ?

It's used generally to mean "take care". It has an accent mark on the i.

[sosia]

Yes, it's cuídate (take care of yourself) because I'm not going to do it :D
It's a sort of contraction of "I want to see you in the future, so take care of yourself"

Oh ok, it's similar to what me and my cousin always say to each other, when we talk on the phone. "Be safe"!!!
