volverlo

Volverlo is a Spanish verb construction that combines the infinitive "volver" with the direct object pronoun "lo". "Volver" means "to return," "to come back," or "to turn." The pronoun "lo" refers to a masculine singular noun previously mentioned or understood in context.

The phrase "volverlo" literally translates to "to return it" or "to turn it." For example, "Necesito volverlo" means "I need to return it," where "it" refers to a masculine singular object. Similarly, "Voy a volverlo a intentar" means "I am going to try it again," using "volver" in its sense of repetition and "lo" as the direct object of "intentar" (to try).

In certain contexts, "volverlo" can also indicate a change or transformation. For instance, "El tiempo lo volvió loco" translates to "The time drove him crazy," where "volverlo loco" means "to drive someone crazy" or "to turn someone mad." This usage implies a process of becoming something else.

The placement of the pronoun "lo" attached to the infinitive is a common grammatical structure in Spanish when the infinitive is the main verb of a clause or phrase. If "volver" were conjugated and followed by a direct object pronoun, the pronoun would typically precede the conjugated verb, as in "Lo voy a volver" (I am going to return it). However, when attached to the infinitive, it forms a single word unit.
