distribuirlo

Distribuirlo is the infinitive form of the verb distribuir with the direct object pronoun lo attached to the end. It translates to “to distribute it” in English, where lo refers to a masculine singular object already identified in the context.

Grammatically, distribuirlo consists of the verb distribuir plus the clitic pronoun lo. This construction is common in Spanish when the action of distributing is discussed in relation to a specific item. The pronoun’s gender and number (lo for masculine singular, la for feminine singular, los/las for plural) determine the exact form used.

Usage and examples illustrate how distribution is expressed in different sentence structures. Examples include: “Tenemos que distribuirlo” (We have to distribute it), “Voy a distribuirlo mañana” (I am going to distribute it tomorrow), and “Quiero distribuirlo entre los socios” (I want to distribute it among the partners). The infinitive with attached pronoun also appears in periphrastic constructions such as “vamos a distribuirlo” or “debería distribuirlo,” where the pronoun remains attached to the infinitive.

Notes on placement and variants: the pronoun can be attached to the infinitive (distribuirlo) or placed before a conjugated auxiliary verb (lo voy a distribuir). In the imperative, pronoun attachment changes the verb form and may require accent marks to maintain proper stress, as in distribúyelo (distribute it, tú affirmative). Disambiguation between distribuirlo and other verb forms relies on context and agreement with the referenced object.
