translation - meaning of exampleA su vecino le robaron la moto el otro día.
(Le) robaron la moto el otro día a su vecino.
They stole his neighbour's bike the other day.
My brain wants to translate this as:
The other day they stole the bike for his neighbor. (su=his, her, your, its, their)
My point being that I think of the indirect object pronoun (le) as to/for him/her your/it
The word "for" being the key point that confuses me in this case, I would guess.
I would think the sentence would use "de" and be "Robaron el moto el otro día de su vecino." and not have the indirect object pronoun.
Help please!
At the other hand there are no examples for "por.
Can "por" also be interpreted as "by"
doesn't that mean: they? not are YOU coming to dinner?

holding down the letter doesn't give me an accent
I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría).
Thank you,
Shirley.
Luis told me where he had gone on holiday. : Luis me dijo ___ había ido de vacaciones.
The stated answer is “dónde” (with an accent), but this usage seems to be that of a relative pronoun. What am I missing? Why is it “dónde” (with an accent)
