Object pronouns: el, la, ho, en
A direct object is replaced by a pronoun BEFORE the verb: el veig — I see him/it, la compro — I buy it. The forms mirror the article: el, la, els, les. For example: “El veig cada matí” — I see him every morning. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
A direct object is replaced by a pronoun BEFORE the verb: el veig — I see him/it, la compro — I buy it. The forms mirror the article: el, la, els, les.
Ho — "it" about things and whole statements: ho sé — I know it. En — "of it, some of it": en vols? — do you want some?, en tinc dos — I have two of them.
The indirect em, et, li you have already seen in "em fa mal" — it hurts me.
By example
- El veig cada matíI see him every morning
- En vols un tros?Do you want a piece?
- La compro demà: és barataI will buy it tomorrow: it is cheap
How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
