explicárnoselo

Explicárnoselo is a Spanish verb phrase formed by combining the infinitive verb "explicar" (to explain), the indirect object pronoun "nos" (to us), and the direct object pronoun "lo" (it). The phrase literally translates to "to explain it to us."

This grammatical structure is common in Spanish, where object pronouns are attached to the end of infinitives, gerunds, and affirmative commands. In this case, "nos" indicates that the explanation is directed towards a group that includes the speaker, and "lo" refers to the object or concept being explained.

For example, if someone is having difficulty understanding something, they might ask, "¿Me lo puedes explicárnoselo?" which means "Can you explain it to us?" The phrase implies a request for clarification or a detailed breakdown of information for a specific audience. Understanding this construction is key to comprehending spoken and written Spanish, especially in contexts where directness and brevity are employed. The order of the pronouns is fixed: indirect object pronoun followed by direct object pronoun when both are attached to an infinitive.
