Pronoun

1. to him, for him; датива of él

   Mi mamá va a escribirle una carta. ― My mom is going to write him a letter.

2. to her, for her; датива of ella

   Le dio un beso a Ana. ― He gave Ana a kiss.

3. to it, for it; датива of ello

   ¡Ponle esfuerzo! ― Put some effort into it!

4. to you, for you (formal); датива of usted

   ¿A usted le gustan los caballos? ― Do you like horses?

5. (gender-neutral, neologism) to them, for them (singular); датива of elle

   Le diré que te llame. ― I will tell them to call you.

Usage notes

• Though le is usually the indirect object form of the direct object pronouns lo/la, it is often used in Spain as a direct object as well...e.g., yo le amo (“I love him”). This phenomenon is known as leísmo.
• Note that when a sentence contains a noun that is an indirect object, a redundant indirect object le (or its plural form les) is also required; for example yo le daré el libro a Jorge (literally “I him will give the book to Jorge”), where him/le corresponds to Jorge. This type of pronoun is obligatory. Both of the object pronouns le and les become se when followed by the direct object lo/la/los/las; hence, yo se lo daré (“I will give it to him/her/them”) rather than yo le/les lo daré.

• If le or les precedes lo, la, los, or las in a clause, it is replaced with se (e.g., "Se lo dije" instead of "Le lo dije")
