Also means
to her
Usage Note
Le does double duty: as a direct object it's feminine plural 'them' (le compro), and as an indirect object it's singular 'to her' (le parlo, 'I speak to her'). Capitalised Le is also the polite 'to you'.
Examples
"Le ho regalate a Maria."
Natural Translation
I gave them to Maria.
Literal Translation
