Å la, "to let, to allow", is the Verb of the Week for Week 33. As in English, it is usually used with another verb: "let it go", "let me pay", and so on. It can also mean "to leave" as in "leave one behind, alone, in peace".
"To let" as in to rent or take a lease on something is å leie.

du lot = you let (past tense)
