montarla

Montarla is a Spanish verbal construction formed by the verb montar plus the feminine direct object pronoun la. It translates roughly as “to mount it” or “to set it up,” with the pronoun la referring to a feminine noun that is the object of the action (for example, la mesa, la bicicleta, la estantería).

Usage and scope

Montarla is used when the object to be mounted, installed, or assembled is feminine. It is common in instructions, manuals, and everyday speech about assembling furniture, equipment, or fixtures. The phrase can also appear with different tenses and moods by conjugating montar while keeping la attached to the infinitive or gerund: voy a montarla, la monto, la montas, la montó, la montaremos, etc.
