I'm having trouble understanding this sentence
Yo se la regalé.
Is it "I gifted him it"? What is the "se" there for? Thanks a lot. |
In this case, "se" is an indirect object pronoun for "él"/"ella".
"La" is a direct object pronoun for a feminine thing that has been given to him/her. Since there are two pronouns, the reader should know what thing has been presented to what person. For example, if I gave María a wrist-chain: Yo le regalé la pulsera a María. "Se" will substitute "a María" (whom I gave it to) and "la" will substitute "la pulsera" (what I gave to her). :) |
Oh yes! I forgot that when there is a direct object pronoun being used, "se" is used as a surrogate for "le", and is not considered reflexive. Thank you very much.
