20 Examples of Enclithic Pronouns

Enclithic Pronouns

The enclitic pronouns are the ones that can be joined or welded to the verb to give rise to a new word, which also completes its meaning through context. For example: letI, looseit, dressestea.

Like all pronouns, They are the words that generically name something already known to the interlocutors, with the intention of not having to continually repeat those phrases. In this case, the enclitic pronouns refer to a direct object or yet indirect object.

For example: Accountmelo.

• account: verb
• I: indirect object
• it: direct object

How do they combine?

Many enclitic pronouns can be combined with others of the same category, only to join the verb there. For example:

How are they written?

Words with enclitic pronouns are often esdrújulas (stressed on the penultimate syllable, always have an accent).

For example: Sing that old tune. The verb "sings" becomes an esdrújula word in its enclitic form and therefore requires the tilde: sing it.

When enclitic pronouns are combined with others, they form words sobreesdrújulas, accented on the syllable before the penultimate. For example: Lend your toy to your brother / lendI know.
