describirlas

Describirlas is a Spanish verbal construction formed by the verb describir followed by the clitic pronoun las, which marks a feminine plural direct object. The combination means “to describe them” when las refers to feminine plural nouns or groups of feminine entities.

Morphology and pronoun usage are central to understanding this form. Las is the feminine plural direct object pronoun, used to refer to previously mentioned or contextually understood feminine plural nouns (for example, las flores, las candidatas). When describing masculine plural objects, the corresponding pronoun would be los (describirlos). The pronoun can be attached directly to non-finite verb forms, yielding describirlas (infinitive), describiéndolas (gerund with pronoun), or with an accent in the imperative form descríbelas.

Syntactically, descripbirlas functions as either the complement of a verb that governs an infinitive or as part of a sentence with an auxiliary verb. It commonly appears in constructions such as quiero describirlas, debemos describirlas, or puedo describirlas. It can also follow prepositions that take infinitives, for example, antes de describirlas or sin describirlas, depending on the intended nuance.

Examples:

- Quiero describirlas con detalle.

- Debemos describirlas para el informe.

- ¿Podrías describirlas con precisión?

- Descríbelas: describirlas de forma clara.

Related forms include describirlo, describirla, describirlos, y describirlas, each with corresponding gender and number. Describirlas es, therefore, a frequent, neutral linguistic unit in Spanish for referring to feminine plural objects in the act of describing.
