"I don't need the book" in Spanish using direct object pronouns?
I got "yo no necesito el libro".... would "yo no lo necesito" be correct?
So it's not "yo lo no necesito"? I'm just really confused on the word order :p

Actually "No lo necesito." Would be enough. The necesito identifies the yo adequately.
If you include the "el libro" dom't use the lo. One or the other but not both.

Yes "lo" because it's a masculine noun "libro"
For negative sentences using direct pronouns the word order is: No+ "direct object" + verb conjugated according to your subject/tense ( since your subject is "yo" "necesito" is correct since it's present tense). Obviously you can't use an object pronoun and the object in the same sentence since that is the whole point of using a pronoun: to omit the object)

(yo) no lo necesito
You can use or not Yo.
LO always goes between NO and THE VERB.

Sí, te comprendo.... or No, no te comprendo.... the place did you get a LAS from?????? WHAT in that sentence is female or plural? attempt back! *Edit* ok, you got the gender precise, yet the place is there something PLURAL, there? (that's hard...yet think of roughly it.)
