Enunciálo

Enunciálo is a Spanish verbal phrase formed by the verb enunciar in the imperative mood with the direct object pronoun lo. The expression translates roughly as “state it” or “enunciate it,” and is used to urge someone to articulate or express a specific idea, statement, or piece of information.

Grammar and usage: Enunciálo is an affirmative tú command. The pronoun lo attaches to the end of the imperative form, following standard Spanish pronoun placement. The construction illustrates how clitic pronouns interact with verb forms in direct speech. In other contexts, other pronouns can replace lo (for example, enúniacela or enunciálos) to refer to different gender or number, and formal or plural forms use corresponding commands (por ejemplo, enúncielo for usted, enuncíenlo for ustedes).

Usage notes: The phrase is common in instructional, evaluative, and argumentative discourse, where a speaker requests that a statement or claim be explicitly stated. It can appear in educational settings, debate, or spoken rhetoric. While not a fixed term with a specialized meaning beyond its grammatical function, it exemplifies how Spanish combines a verb with a clitic pronoun to produce concise commands.

Etymology: Enunciálo derives from enunciar, from Latin enuntiāre, meaning to declare, announce, or enunciate. The direct object pronoun lo refers to a masculine singular antecedent, often a statement or piece of information.
