haganlo

Haganlo is the unaccented form of the Spanish command háganlo, the second-person plural imperative of hacer used with the pronoun lo. The phrase literally means “do it” and is directed at ustedes, a formal or plural “you” in many Spanish-speaking regions. It combines the verb form hagan (from hacer) with the direct object pronoun lo.

In standard Spanish, háganlo is typically written with an acute accent on la in háganlo to indicate the correct stress. The accent helps distinguish the imperative form from other conjugations and ensures proper pronunciation. The unaccented haganlo is commonly seen in informal writing, quick notes, digital text, or scenarios where diacritics are omitted, but it is generally considered nonstandard in formal contexts.

Usage and function: this construction is used to urge a group to perform a specific action, similar to “do it now” or “go ahead and do it” in English. It appears in everyday speech, instructional material, marketing, and dialogue in media, where a directive to act is required. The pronoun lo can be replaced by other clitic pronouns (e.g., háganlo, hacérmelo, háganoslo) to refer to different objects or recipients.
