How to Say ‘Could you send it to me?’ in French

Pourriez-vous me l'envoyer ?

poo-RYAY voo muh l ahn-vwah-YAY

[poo-RYAY voo muh l ahn-vwah-YAY]

💬 Usage Tip: When there are two of these little words before the verb, me comes before le. So it's me l'envoyer, never the other way round, and le shortens to l' before the vowel.
