Combined Pronouns

When an indirect and a direct pronoun meet, the indirect one comes first and changes its -i to -e: mi → me, ti → te, ci → ce, vi → ve. This gives me lo, te la, ce li, ve le, and with ne: me ne, te ne, ce ne, ve ne.

• gli and le (to him, to her, to them, and the polite Lei) join the second pronoun in one word: glielo, gliela, glieli, gliele, gliene.
• The pair goes before the conjugated verb: Mi presti la penna? Sì, te la presto (Yes, I'll lend it to you).
• The reflexive si + ne becomes se ne: Anna se ne va (Anna is leaving).

Example: Dai il libro a Marco? Sì, glielo do (Yes, I'm giving it to him).
