Estudiándolas

Estudiándolas is the gerund form of the Spanish verb "estudiar," meaning "to study." As a gerund, it indicates an ongoing action. Therefore, "estudiándolas" translates to "studying them" or "while studying them." The "-las" suffix specifically refers to feminine plural direct objects. This means the action of studying is being directed towards one or more feminine nouns.

For example, in the sentence "Ella está estudiándolas para el examen" (She is studying them for the exam), "las" would refer to feminine plural nouns previously mentioned or understood from context, such as "las lecciones" (the lessons) or "las materias" (the subjects). The gerund "estudiándolas" emphasizes that the act of studying these feminine plural objects is happening at the present moment.

The use of the gerund in Spanish often parallels the English "-ing" form, particularly when indicating simultaneous actions or ongoing processes. "Estudiándolas" functions as an adverbial phrase, describing how or when an action is taking place. It highlights the continuous engagement with the feminine plural entities being studied.
