Questions & Answers about El gerente necesita tu firma. ¿Se la envías hoy?
Why is it Se la envías and not Le la envías?
What exactly does la refer to in this sentence?
Doesn't se usually mean "himself" or "herself"?
Yes, se is often used as a reflexive pronoun for "himself" or "herself". But in this sentence, it is just the indirect object pronoun le (to him) in disguise so it doesn't clash with la. The context of sending a signature makes it clear that it means "to him"!
Why are the pronouns Se la placed before the verb envías?
In Spanish, object pronouns usually go directly before a conjugated verb. Since envías (you send) is conjugated, se and la must come right before it. They always go in this order: the person receiving the action (se) comes before the object being acted upon (la).
