Le

Le
 
What does it mean when le is attached to a verb in the dictionary? - For example when I look-up bet is has the verb apostarle.

"le" usualmente es un pronombre de la persona
apostarle - bet (una persona)

Pero también significa "to appoint - como en un elección/ect.", lo que tiene más sentido en este caso:D

Al hombre le apostaste a la posición - you appointed the man to the position
Quote:

De la RAE
5. intr. Dicho de una persona: Depositar su confianza o su elección en otra persona o en una idea o iniciativa que entraña cierto riesgo.
Nunca había visto verbos en el diccionario que tienen pronombres personales adjuntos:thinking:

That is the third-person indirect object pronoun. It is attached to an infinitive.
Apostar means to bet.

Your dictionary may be indicating that an indirect object is allowed, as well as a direct object, with the transitive verb (not all transitive verbs take an indirect object, but all take a direct object). Check to see if this is stated in the opening pages of your dictionary.

I've never seen a verb in a Spanish dictionary with the pronoun attached to a verb :thinking: . Maybe this is an example.

As part of the definition... not the word itself? :)

Gracias Rusty, ¿Significa sólo "to bet"? No estoy seguro de que signifique también "to appoint":thinking:. Lo que realmente tiene el mismo sentido. One "bets" with who they pick in office, one could say.:)
