3 leísmo

loísmo

► nombre masculino

1 leísmo use of le and les as direct object instead of lo and los leísmo

* * *

SM use of "le" instead of "lo" and "la" as direct objects
LEÍSMO, LOÍSMO, LAÍSMO These terms refer to the reversal of the standard distinction between direct and indirect object personal pronouns in Spanish. Normally lo(s) and la(s) are the direct object pronouns (eg: Lo/La vi ayer I saw him/her yesterday) and le(s) the indirect equivalents (eg: Le di tu recado I gave him/her your message). Leísmo involves replacing lo(s) and sometimes la(s) with le(s) (eg: Le vi ayer), while loísmo and laísmo mean using lo(s) and la(s) instead of le(s) (eg: Lo/La di tu recado). Whereas leísmo is relatively socially acceptable in most of Spain, though not Latin America, loísmo and laísmo tend to be frowned upon everywhere.
* * *

masculino: use of le/les instead of lo/los/la/las (as in este libro no te le presto), common in certain regions of Spain

masculino: use of le/les instead of lo/los/la/las (as in este libro no te le presto), common in certain regions of Spain

leísmo

masculine

the use of the pronouns le and les instead of lo² (↑ lo (2)) , los² (↑ los (2)) , la² (↑ la (2)) and las² (↑ las (2)) (as in este libro no te le presto or a María le vi ayer) is common in some regions of Spain but is not accepted as standard by most Spanish speakers.

leísmo sustantivo masculino: use of
◊ le/les instead of lo/los/la/las (as in este libro no te le presto), common in certain regions of Spain but not acceptable to most speakers
