trovarlo

Trovarlo is an Italian verb. It is a compound verb formed by combining the infinitive "trovare" and the direct object pronoun "lo." "Trovare" translates to "to find" in English, and "lo" is the masculine singular direct object pronoun, meaning "him" or "it." Therefore, "trovarlo" means "to find him" or "to find it."

The verb "trovare" is a regular first-conjugation verb in Italian, meaning its conjugations follow predictable patterns. When "lo" is attached to the infinitive, it remains at the end. For example, the infinitive "trovare" becomes "trovarlo." The pronoun "lo" elides the final vowel of "trovare" before attaching.

When conjugated in different tenses, the pronoun "lo" typically precedes the conjugated verb. For instance, in the present tense, "io lo trovo" means "I find him/it." However, when forming compound tenses using the auxiliary verb "avere," the direct object pronoun "lo" is placed before the auxiliary verb. For example, "io l'ho trovato" means "I have found him/it," where "l'" is the elided form of "lo." The past participle "trovato" agrees in gender and number with the direct object when the pronoun precedes the auxiliary verb in compound tenses. In this case, "lo" is masculine singular, so "trovato" remains in its masculine singular form. If the pronoun were "la" (her/it, feminine singular), the past participle would become "trovata."
