emocionar-se — Portuguese conjugation
to be moved, to get emotional
Indicative
Present (Presente) Irregular
The presente covers routines, states, and immediate future with adverbs like hoje or amanhã. One present form covers both English simple and progressive readings in most situations.
Ela estuda português todas as noites.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | emociono-me | I am moved |
| tu | emocionas-te | you are moved |
| você | emociona-se | you are moved |
| ele/ela | emociona-se | he/she/it is moved |
| nós | emocionamo-nos | we are moved |
| vós | emocionais-vos | you (pl.) are moved |
| vocês | emocionam-se | you (pl.) are moved |
| eles/elas | emocionam-se | they are moved |
Preterite (Pretérito perfeito simples) Irregular
The pretérito perfeito simples is a sharp, completed past. In European Portuguese it is the standard story-telling past; Brazilian usage often prefers the compound form in speech while keeping the simple for narrative and writing.
Ontem escreveu a carta inteira de uma vez.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | emocionei-me | I was moved |
| tu | emocionaste-te | you were moved |
| você | emocionou-se | you were moved |
| ele/ela | emocionou-se | he/she/it was moved |
| nós | emocionamo-nos | we were moved |
| vós | emocionastes-vos | you (pl.) were moved |
| vocês | emocionaram-se | you (pl.) were moved |
| eles/elas | emocionaram-se | they were moved |
Imperfect (Pretérito imperfeito) Irregular
The imperfeito describes past background, repeated actions, and how things used to be. Contrast it with the simple preterite for the “main event” line of a story.
Quando era criança, brincava na praia.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | emocionava-me |
| tu | emocionavas-te |
| você | emocionava-se |
| ele/ela | emocionava-se |
| nós | emocionávamo-nos |
| vós | emocionáveis-vos |
| vocês | emocionavam-se |
| eles/elas | emocionavam-se |
Conditional (Condicional) Regular
The condicional is for polite offers, soft questions, and hypothetical “would” outcomes, and it often closes a se + imperfeito do subjuntivo chain in formal style.
Você poderia me explicar outra vez?
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | emocionar-me-ia | I would be moved |
| tu | emocionar-te-ias | you would be moved |
| você | emocionar-se-ia | you would be moved |
| ele/ela | emocionar-se-ia | he/she/it would be moved |
| nós | emocionar-nos-íamos | we would be moved |
| vós | emocionar-vos-íeis | you (pl.) would be moved |
| vocês | emocionar-se-iam | you (pl.) would be moved |
| eles/elas | emocionar-se-iam | they would be moved |
Future (Futuro do presente) Regular
The futuro do presente states future facts; in everyday conversation you will often hear ir + infinitive or even the present with a time adverb instead of the synthetic future.
Amanhã faremos a reunião mais cedo.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | emocionar-me-ei | I will be moved |
| tu | emocionar-te-ás | you will be moved |
| você | emocionar-se-á | you will be moved |
| ele/ela | emocionar-se-á | he/she/it will be moved |
| nós | emocionar-nos-emos | we will be moved |
| vós | emocionar-vos-eis | you (pl.) will be moved |
| vocês | emocionar-se-ão | you (pl.) will be moved |
| eles/elas | emocionar-se-ão | they will be moved |
Present perfect (Pretérito perfeito composto) Regular
The pretérito perfeito composto uses ter or haver plus the participle for a past that still touches the present or happens repeatedly up to now — a “have done” perfect with strong links to European norms.
Tenho pensado nisso há semanas.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | tenho emocionado | I have been moved |
| tu | tens emocionado | you have been moved |
| você | tem emocionado | you have been moved |
| ele/ela | tem emocionado | he/she/it has been moved |
| nós | temos emocionado | we have been moved |
| vós | tendes emocionado | you (pl.) have been moved |
| vocês | têm emocionado | you (pl.) have been moved |
| eles/elas | têm emocionado | they have been moved |
Pluperfect (Mais-que-perfeito composto) Regular
The mais-que-perfeito composto is the pluperfect: an action was already finished before another past reference. It mirrors the English “had already”.
Já tinham saído quando chegámos.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | tinha emocionado | I had been moved |
| tu | tinhas emocionado | you had been moved |
| você | tinha emocionado | you had been moved |
| ele/ela | tinha emocionado | he/she/it had been moved |
| nós | tínhamos emocionado | we had been moved |
| vós | tínheis emocionado | you (pl.) had been moved |
| vocês | tinham emocionado | you (pl.) had been moved |
| eles/elas | tinham emocionado | they had been moved |
Conditional perfect (Condicional composto) Regular
The condicional composto expresses a counterfactual “would have” and appears with the right kind of if-clause in the subjunctive past for unreal conditions.
Teria aceite se tiveses avisado com antecedência.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | teria emocionado |
| tu | terias emocionado |
| você | teria emocionado |
| ele/ela | teria emocionado |
| nós | teríamos emocionado |
| vós | teríeis emocionado |
| vocês | teriam emocionado |
| eles/elas | teriam emocionado |
Future perfect (Futuro composto) Regular
The futuro composto is the future-in-the-future: something will be finished before a later time. It is less frequent than the simple future but still useful for deadlines.
Até sexta, teremos lido tudo o relatório.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | terei emocionado | I will have been moved |
| tu | terás emocionado | you will have been moved |
| você | terá emocionado | you will have been moved |
| ele/ela | terá emocionado | he/she/it will have been moved |
| nós | teremos emocionado | we will have been moved |
| vós | tereis emocionado | you (pl.) will have been moved |
| vocês | terão emocionado | you (pl.) will have been moved |
| eles/elas | terão emocionado | they will have been moved |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Conjuntivo presente) Regular
The present subjunctive appears after want, hope, fear, and impersonal triggers, and typically requires a new subject in the subordinate clause, just as in the other main Romance languages.
Espero que encontres o caminho fácil.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | emocione-me |
| tu | emociones-te |
| você | emocione-se |
| ele/ela | emocione-se |
| nós | emocionemo-nos |
| vós | emocioneis-vos |
| vocês | emocionem-se |
| eles/elas | emocionem-se |
Imperfect subjunctive (Conjuntivo pretérito imperf.) Regular
The imperfect subjunctive in se + subjunctive → condicional is the classic “if I were a rich man” line in European Portuguese, parallel to the Spanish -ra form.
Se tivesse mais tempo, aprenderia outro idioma.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | emocionasse-me |
| tu | emocionasses-te |
| você | emocionasse-se |
| ele/ela | emocionasse-se |
| nós | emocionássemo-nos |
| vós | emocionásseis-vos |
| vocês | emocionassem-se |
| eles/elas | emocionassem-se |
Other forms
Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo afirmativo) Regular
The affirmative imperative in Portuguese is built with tu, você, nós, vós, and vocês forms; Brazilian norms favour você/vocês with third-person present verb shapes.
Diga a verdade, por favor.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |

| você | emocione-se |

| nós | emocionemo-nos |
| vós | emocionai-vos |
| vocês | emocionem-se |
| eles/elas | emocionem-se |
Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular
Negative commands require não plus the present subjunctive for each person, which is a distinctive feature compared to other Romance systems that reuse present indicative in some slots.
