háganlo

Háganlo is a Spanish imperative phrase formed to tell a group of people to perform a task. It combines the affirmative command for ustedes, hagan, with the direct object pronoun lo, which refers to the action or object being requested. The accent on the first syllable (há-) helps indicate the proper pronunciation when the pronoun is attached.

Grammatically, háganlo is the second-person plural formal command corresponding to ustedes. Other related forms include hazlo (tú, informal singular), hágalo (usted, formal singular), and hagámoslo (nosotros, let’s do it). The pronoun lo is placed after the verb in affirmative commands, as in Háganlo ahora.

Usage notes: The phrase is widely used in instructional, managerial, promotional, and everyday contexts when addressing a group. The tone and connotation depend on context and intonation, ranging from encouraging to directive or authoritative. It can appear in written directives, speeches, or media aimed at groups.

Variants and related expressions: The core meaning remains “do it,” but different subjects yield different forms. For example, hágalo is used with a single formal person (usted), hazlo with tú, hagámoslo for a collective intention, and háganlo for a group. The choice of form signals level of formality and the relationship to the audience.

Examples: Háganlo ahora, por favor. Si quieren terminar, háganlo.
