transformarlas

Transformarlas is a Spanish verb phrase formed by the infinitive transformar plus the direct object pronoun las, which refers to feminine plural nouns. It translates as “to transform them” and is used across contexts such as physical changes, data processing, or text and media transformation. The pronoun las must agree in gender and number with the object; if the object were masculine, it would be los.

Usage and placement: The pronoun can be attached to non-finite forms or placed before the conjugated verb in periphrastic constructions. For example, Voy a transformarlas and Las voy a transformar are both correct and commonly used; the choice affects emphasis and rhythm. The gerund form is transformándolas, and the past participle form can appear as transformadas when used adjectivally or in compound tenses. In imperative form for the tú command, the derived form is transfórmalas, with an accent to preserve the original stress.

Grammatical notes: Transformarlas illustrates Spanish clitic pronouns attached to infinitives or gerunds, a feature that allows compact phrasing without changing verb stems. The pronoun’s position can influence emphasis but not meaning. When both indirect and direct objects are involved, additional clitics or pronouns would appear in different orders, such as: Te las voy a transformar (to you I am going to transform them).

Contexts: The phrase is versatile in technical writing, language teaching, and everyday speech. It does not function as a fixed noun but as a verb phrase whose meaning shifts with context—from editing text to altering physical objects or data structures.
