clasificarla

Clasificarla is the Spanish construction formed by the verb clasificar plus the feminine direct object pronoun la. It means “to classify it” or “to classify her,” depending on the feminine noun referred to in the context. The la pronoun signals a feminine singular object and is attached to the verb form in various ways.

Usage and forms

As a clitic, la can attach to different forms of the verb. With an infinitive, gerund, or participle, it typically attaches to the end: clasificarla, clasificándola, clasificada. In finite forms, the pronoun generally precedes the conjugated verb: la clasifica, la voy a clasificar, la clasificaría, etc. For affirmative tú commands, an accent is often used to preserve the original stress: ¡clasifícala!; in negative tú commands the pronoun appears after no: no la clasifiques. Other forms follow standard Spanish rules for direct object pronouns (la) and adjective agreement with feminine singular nouns.

Examples

- Voy a clasificarla. (I’m going to classify it/her.)

- Debes clasificarla antes de la entrega. (You must classify it/her before delivery.)

- ¿La clasificarás tú? (Will you classify it/her?)

- ¡Clasifícala ya! (Classify it now!)

- La voy a clasificar mañana. (I’m going to classify it/her tomorrow.)

Notes

Clasificarla depends on context to identify what la refers to. The feminine singular pronoun may be replaced by lo for masculine objects or by los/las for plural objects. This construction illustrates how Spanish uses clitic pronouns to compactly express transitive actions directed at a specified object.
