When you have both a Direct and an Indirect pronoun in the same sentence (e.g., "Give it to me"), you combine them into a single phrase.

The Rule of Combination

The Indirect pronoun ALWAYS comes first. When combined with lo/la/li/le, the "i" in the indirect pronoun changes to an "e".

• mi -> me lo, me la, me li, me le
• ti -> te lo, te la, te li, te le
• ci -> ce lo, ce la, ce li, ce le
• vi -> ve lo, ve la, ve li, ve le

The Third Person (Gli/Le)

When combining gli (to him/them) or le (to her) with a direct pronoun, they merge into ONE single word: glielo, gliela, glieli, gliele. This form is used for him, her, and them!

Remember: If used with Passato Prossimo, the participle must agree with the DIRECT pronoun part (the lo/la/li/le). Example: Te l\'ho data (I gave it[fem] to you).
