Questions & Answers about Las mujeres a quienes les envío el correo son mis contactos.
Why use a quienes instead of just que?
We use quienes because it refers to a plural group of people (las mujeres). We include a because they are the recipients of the email. After a preposition like a, de, or con, Spanish requires quien or quienes for people, rather than que.
Why do we need the word les before envío?
The word les is the indirect object pronoun meaning to them. In Spanish, whenever you mention who is receiving an action (in this case, a quienes), you almost always need to include the matching pronoun too. It feels repetitive in English, but it is required in Spanish!
Can el correo mean email? I thought it meant physical mail.
Yes, it can mean both! The full term for an email is el correo electrónico, but native speakers constantly shorten it to just el correo in everyday conversation when the context is clear.
