lográndolo

Lográndolo is a Spanish linguistic form that combines the verb lograr in its gerund with the direct object pronoun lo, yielding lográndolo. It is used to express the act of achieving something in progress or to emphasize that a goal has been reached through ongoing effort. As a grammatical construction, lográndolo can function as a participial modifier or appear within a sentence to foreground the accomplishment referenced by lo.

Usage and meaning

Lográndolo often serves to highlight perseverance or gradual progress toward a specific objective. It can introduce a clause that describes subsequent results or reflect a continuing process. Examples include sentences like “Lográndolo, demostró que era posible” or “Con perseverancia, lográndolo, alcanzó el título.” The form is common in narrative, motivational writing, and speech when the speaker wants to stress the action of achieving something.

Orthography and pronunciation

Lográndolo is written as a single word with an accent on the a (lográndolo). The accent helps preserve the original stress of the gerund logrando when the pronoun lo is attached. In plain logrando, the stress would fall on the penultimate syllable, but the addition of lo shifts or requires an accent to indicate the intended emphasis.
