From Proto-Albanian *laide (“let”).[1] Identical to Baltic permissive and optative particles Latvian lai (“to let”), Lithuanian laĩ, Old Prussian -lai.[2][3][4][5]
Cognate to Albanian lihem (“to be left; allowed”) (Standard & Tosk), Gheg Albanian lêhem, lêna (passive forms of active lë).[6][7]
Verb

Etymology 2
From Vulgar Latin *illae, a nonstandard form of Latin illī (dative singular of illa). The ae in illae is modelled under influence of the dative case for first-declension feminine nouns, e.g. Classical Latin puellae.
Pronoun
le f (plural gli)
- (dative) her, to her
- Synonym: (informal) gli
- Le ho detto che la amo. ― I told her that I love her.
- Le ho dato la lettera. ― I gave her the letter.
- (dative) you, to you (term of respect)
- Non le ho detto il mio nome. ― I didn't tell you my name.
- Le ho dato la lettera. ― I gave you the letter.
Usage notes
- In formal writing, when le is used as term of respect it is usually capitalised/capitalized as Le to avoid confusion with le (“her”).
- In informal contexts often replaced with gli, especially in spoken language.
- Becomes glie when followed by a third person direct object clitic (lo, la, li, le, or ne).
- Never elides.

Etymology
From Latin illī, dative of ille.
Pronunciation
Pronoun
le m or f by sense
- to him, for him; dative of él
- Mi mamá va a escribirle una carta.
- My mom is going to write him a letter.
- to her, for her; dative of ella
- Le dio un beso a Ana.
- He gave Ana a kiss.
- to it, for it; dative of ello
- ¡Ponle esfuerzo!
- Put some effort into it!
- to you, for you (formal); dative of usted
- ¿A usted le gustan los caballos?
- Do you like horses?
Usage notes
- Though le is usually the indirect object form of the direct object pronouns lo/la, it is often used in Spain as a direct object as well...e.g., yo le amo (“I love him”). This phenomenon is known as leísmo.
- Note that when a sentence contains a noun that is an indirect object, a redundant indirect object le (or its plural form les) is also required; for example yo le daré el libro a Jorge (literally “I will give him the book to Jorge”), where him/le corresponds to Jorge. This type of pronoun is obligatory. Both of the object pronouns le and les become se when followed by the direct object lo/la/los/las; hence, yo se lo daré (“I will give it to him/her/them”) rather than *yo le/les lo daré.
Pronoun
le gender-neutral
- (gender-neutral, neologism) to them, for them (singular); dative of elle
- Le diré que te llame.
- I will tell them to call you.
