actualizarlos

Actualizarlos is a Spanish verbal construction formed by the verb actualizar plus the direct object pronoun los, meaning “to update them.” It is used when the object of actualizar is masculine plural, referring to multiple items previously mentioned. The form can function as an infinitive phrase that acts as a noun or as part of a larger verb phrase, and it can appear as a single word when attached to the infinitive, as in voy a actualizarlos or vamos a actualizarlos.

In Spanish, clitic pronouns such as los can be attached to the infinitive, gerund, or affirmative imperative. When the pronoun is attached to an infinitive, it typically remains as a single word (actualizarlos). With a gerund, pronouns are also attached and usually require a diacritical accent to preserve the original stress (actualizándolos). The pronunciation may change accordingly, and the accent helps indicate emphasis in the gerund form.

Usage examples:

- Vamos a actualizarlos mañana.

- Quiero actualizarlos antes de la reunión.

- Actualizarlos es necesario para mantener la base de datos vigente.

- Actualizándolos ahora sería más eficiente.

Notes:

The pronoun can be placed before the conjugated verb as a clitic (“Los voy a actualizar”) or attached to the infinitive/gerund in affirmative constructions. If the objects are feminine or mixed, corresponding forms such as actualizarlas or actualizarlos would be used. The term itself is a grammatical construction rather than a fixed lexical entry.
