"Le" is singular and "Les" is plural; the equivalents in English are "to him/her/it" and "to them".
For example: I send a letter to him = Le envío una carta. // I send a letter to them = Les envío una carta.

What does Pásenme mean?
It looks like a third person plural formal imperative (mood) statement...I think I know what the infinitive is, however I can't be sure.Pasen, looks like it would be derived from pasar.It would then have to be the third person plural imperative mood present tense.(maybe my terminology is wrong here.)Imperative means that you are ordering someone to do something. Wash the dishes, llava los platos! Los platos would be changed to a pronoun, "los," which is a direct object pronoun. When you use the imperative mood you then append the indirect and direct object pronouns to the end of the sentence. ¡Llavalos! (Wash them!) Or, "Llavamelos por mí." Wash them for me. (Note that in Spanish anytime you have an indirect object you must use an indirect object pronoun, I'm not aware of any exceptions to this rule.)So if I tell you that you have a third person plural formal verb (pasar) with an indirect object(me) could you tell me whatPasen (command) me (indirect object) "Pásenme" means?I should note, without context I can't be sure that me is an indirect object pronoun, because maybe they mean to actually perform the action on them, but I'm pretty sure it is indirect).
