Riciclarli

Riciclarli is the Italian infinitive form of the verb riciclare with the clitic pronoun li attached, meaning "to recycle them," where li refers to masculine or mixed-gender plural objects mentioned earlier in the discourse. The construction illustrates how Italian combines a verb with a clitic pronoun to indicate the direct object. In practice, riciclarli is used when the object to be recycled is plural and masculine (or mixed), such as contenitori or imballaggi.

Grammar and usage: Italian allows clitic pronouns to attach to the end of an infinitive, producing forms like riciclarli, especially in periphrastic constructions. When the sentence features two verbs, the pronoun can also appear before the conjugated verb, producing forms such as Li dobbiamo riciclare, depending on emphasis and style. Both patterns are accepted in standard Italian, with slight differences in rhythm or focus.

Contexts and examples: In everyday language and environmental discourse, riciclarli appears in statements about recycling multiple items. Examples include: Dobbiamo riciclarli. (We must recycle them.) Li dobbiamo riciclare. (We must recycle them.) Another common construction is Dobbiamo riciclarli anche se è difficile, which foregrounds the action of recycling the items themselves.
