1

Imperative + clitic (Échale)

‘Échale’ is the affirmative imperative of ‘echar’ with the indirect object pronoun ‘le’, meaning ‘take a look (to someone)’. The clitic attaches to the verb in the affirmative command.

2

Un vistazo

The expression ‘un vistazo’ literally means ‘a glance’, and together with ‘echar’ forms the idiom ‘echar un vistazo’ = ‘to take a look’.

3

Por favor

Adding ‘por favor’ softens the request, making it polite even though the verb form is informal.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Échalo un vistazo a nuestra política de cancelación, por favor.

    ‘Échalo’ uses the direct object pronoun ‘lo’, which changes the meaning to ‘throw it’. The correct indirect pronoun is ‘le’ for ‘echar un vistazo’.

  • Mira nuestra política de cancelación, por favor.

    ‘Mira’ is a direct translation of ‘look’, but it sounds more abrupt. ‘Échale un vistazo’ adds a softer, more colloquial tone.

Cultural Tip

‘Échale un vistazo’ is common in many Latin American countries and Spain for a friendly, informal request. In very formal written communication (e.g., legal notices) you might prefer ‘revise’ or ‘consulte’. Remember that the clitic ‘le’ signals an indirect object; using ‘lo’ would be incorrect here.
