exhalarlo

Exhalarlo is the infinitive form of the Spanish verb exhalar with the direct object pronoun lo attached, meaning to exhale it. Exhalar comes from Latin exhalare (ex- “out” + halare “to breathe”), and exhalarlo is used when the object being exhaled is masculine singular and previously mentioned or understood.

Grammatically, exhalarlo is formed by the verb exhalar plus the masculine singular pronoun lo. The direct-object pronoun must agree in gender and number with the noun it replaces, so the corresponding forms are exhalarla (feminine singular), exhalarlos (masculine plural), and exhalarlas (feminine plural).

Usage and contexts range from literal breathing to venting substances. It is common in instructions, medical or sports settings, and safety contexts where a specific item is expelled by exhalation. In practice, the pronoun is attached to the infinitive: Debes exhalarlo lentamente. It may also appear in related forms such as exhalándolo (the gerund) or exhalado (the past participle), depending on the construction.

Examples:

- Debes exhalarlo lentamente para evitar mareos.

- El protocolo indica exhalarlo con control durante la prueba de respiración.

- Si el objeto es femenino, se diría exhalarla; para objetos plurales, exhalarlos o exhalarlas según corresponda.

Exhalarlo, therefore, is a specialized but standard construction in Spanish for indicating the act of expelling something via exhalation, with agreement reflecting the gender and number of the object involved.
