realizarlo

Realizarlo is a Spanish verb phrase formed by realizar, meaning to carry out, perform, or accomplish, together with the clitic pronoun lo. It is used to refer to performing a previously mentioned action and can express turning an intention into reality, completing a task, or bringing a plan to fruition. The phrase is common in both formal and informal contexts.

Etymology and range of meanings: Realizar derives from the Latin realis via the French réaliser, with senses centered on making something real or achieving goals. In addition to concrete tasks, realizar can mean to fulfill a dream or to realize a plan. In some contexts, it can also mean to realize or understand a fact, although darse cuenta de is more typical in everyday usage.

Grammatical notes: Lo is a direct object pronoun; when attached to the infinitive, it forms Realizarlo. Common forms include: Realízalo (affirmative tú), No lo realices (negative tú), Realicémoslo (affirmative nosotros). The noun realización refers to the realization or fulfillment of an objective, and realizable means feasible.
