entregalo

Entregalo is the affirmative imperative form of the Spanish verb entregar with the direct object pronoun lo attached. It means “deliver it” or “hand it over” and is used in informal speech when addressing someone familiar (tú).

In Spanish grammar, affirmative commands often allow pronouns to be attached to the end of the verb. Thus entregalo can be written as one word. When more pronouns accompany the verb, accent marks may be added to preserve the original stress, producing forms such as entrégamelo (deliver it to me) or entrégaselo (deliver it to him/her).

Negatives use a different structure: the pronoun precedes the verb, as in no lo entregues (do not deliver it). The same root verb entregar can appear in various tenses and moods, with lo serving as the masculine singular direct object pronoun referring to a previously mentioned item.

Usage notes include that entregalo is common in everyday conversation and informal writing. For formal situations or when addressing a group, forms based on other pronouns or politeness levels would be used, such as entréguelo or entréguenlo, depending on the subject and pronoun combination.
