why lo is used in lo intento to say I try
This is a very simple question however I can't find the answer
lo intento - I try
I do not understand why there is a "lo" here? As I under it lo is a direct pronoun for the third person singular. However in the line above surely it should be "me" as its the first person singular?

I agree. Lo intento requires prior context. You can also say "me intento," but it really depends on what you are trying to communicate. Both are right depending on the intended meaning.

May be it means "I intend it" or "I attempt it" . Would help to see the whole sentence....need the context.
