Conviértelas

Conviértelas is a Spanish verbal form formed from the verb convertir in the affirmative imperative for the second-person singular (tú), with the direct object pronoun las attached to the end. The phrase means “turn them into” or “convert them,” and the las refers to feminine plural nouns mentioned previously.

Grammar and form: In affirmative tú commands, pronouns are attached directly to the end of the verb, and an accent is used to preserve the original stress. Conviértelas combines the imperative stem conviért- with las, signaling a feminine plural object. The corresponding negative form is No las conviertas. The construction can partner with other pronouns in related forms, following the same attachment rules (for example, convírtelas when the context requires a different pronoun arrangement).

Usage and contexts: Conviértelas is common in instructional, culinary, crafts, and DIY contexts, where someone is instructed to transform feminine plural items. It presupposes a prior mention of the feminine plural noun(s) referred to by las.

Examples:

- Conviértelas en puré. (Turn them into purée.)

- Si tienes las manzanas, conviértelas en galletas siguiendo la receta. (If you have the apples, turn them into cookies following the recipe.)

- Conviértelas en tiras finas para la ensalada. (Turn them into thin strips for the salad.)

Notes: The pronoun las must refer to feminine plural objects; with masculine plural objects, a different form such as los would be used in a corresponding construction. Conviértelas, like other imperative forms with attached pronouns, reflects a direct and informal command. See also convertir, imperativo en español.
