chiarirla

Chiarirla is the Italian infinitive formed from the verb chiarire with the clitic pronoun la attached, meaning to clarify it. The la refers to a feminine singular object or issue previously mentioned and allows the speaker to avoid repeating the noun.

In standard Italian, chiarire is a transitive verb, and chiarirla is used when the object has already been identified in the discourse. The same construction can appear with other pronouns (for example, chiarirmi, chiarirtelo) to indicate to whom or to what the clarification is directed. The verb is conjugated regularly for tense and mood, while the pronoun remains attached to the infinitive in non-finite forms. In compound tenses with avere as the auxiliary, the past participle agrees with the direct object when it precedes the auxiliary: e.g., l'ho chiarita (I have clarified it).

Usage notes and nuance: chiarirla is commonly employed in both formal and informal contexts to express the act of removing ambiguity about a matter, resolve a misunderstanding, or provide a precise explanation. It can carry a straightforward or diplomatic tone, depending on context and accompanying language.

Examples:

- Voglio chiarirla subito. (I want to clarify it right away.)

- Devo chiarirla con la direzione. (I need to clarify it with the management.)

- L'ho chiarita. (I clarified it.)

- La chiarirò domani. (I will clarify it tomorrow.)

Chiarirla exemplifies how Italian uses clitic pronouns attached to infinitives to streamline reference to previously mentioned topics within a sentence.
