frustrar-se — Portuguese conjugation
to be frustrated
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 | frustro-me | I am frustrated |
| tu | frustras-te | you are frustrated |
| você | frustra-se | you are frustrated |
| ele/ela | frustra-se | he/she/it is frustrated |
| nós | frustramo-nos | we are frustrated |
| vós | frustrais-vos | you (pl.) are frustrated |
| vocês | frustram-se | you (pl.) are frustrated |
| eles/elas | frustram-se | they are frustrated |
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 | frustrei-me | I was frustrated |
| tu | frustraste-te | you were frustrated |
| você | frustrou-se | you were frustrated |
| ele/ela | frustrou-se | he/she/it was frustrated |
| nós | frustramo-nos | we were frustrated |
| vós | frustrastes-vos | you (pl.) were frustrated |
| vocês | frustraram-se | you (pl.) were frustrated |
| eles/elas | frustraram-se | they were frustrated |
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 | frustrava-me |
| tu | frustravas-te |
| você | frustrava-se |
| ele/ela | frustrava-se |
| nós | frustrávamo-nos |
| vós | frustráveis-vos |
| vocês | frustravam-se |
| eles/elas | frustravam-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 | frustrar-me-ia | I would be frustrated |
| tu | frustrar-te-ias | you would be frustrated |
| você | frustrar-se-ia | you would be frustrated |
| ele/ela | frustrar-se-ia | he/she/it would be frustrated |
| nós | frustrar-nos-íamos | we would be frustrated |
| vós | frustrar-vos-íeis | you (pl.) would be frustrated |
| vocês | frustrar-se-iam | you (pl.) would be frustrated |
| eles/elas | frustrar-se-iam | they would be frustrated |
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 | frustrar-me-ei | I will be frustrated |
| tu | frustrar-te-ás | you will be frustrated |
| você | frustrar-se-á | you will be frustrated |
| ele/ela | frustrar-se-á | he/she/it will be frustrated |
| nós | frustrar-nos-emos | we will be frustrated |
| vós | frustrar-vos-eis | you (pl.) will be frustrated |
| vocês | frustrar-se-ão | you (pl.) will be frustrated |
| eles/elas | frustrar-se-ão | they will be frustrated |
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 frustrado | I have been frustrated |
| tu | tens frustrado | you have been frustrated |
| você | tem frustrado | you have been frustrated |
| ele/ela | tem frustrado | he/she/it has been frustrated |
| nós | temos frustrado | we have been frustrated |
| vós | tendes frustrado | you (pl.) have been frustrated |
| vocês | têm frustrado | you (pl.) have been frustrated |
| eles/elas | têm frustrado | they have been frustrated |
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 frustrado | I had been frustrated |
| tu | tinhas frustrado | you had been frustrated |
| você | tinha frustrado | you had been frustrated |
| ele/ela | tinha frustrado | he/she/it had been frustrated |
| nós | tínhamos frustrado | we had been frustrated |
| vós | tínheis frustrado | you (pl.) had been frustrated |
| vocês | tinham frustrado | you (pl.) had been frustrated |
| eles/elas | tinham frustrado | they had been frustrated |
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 frustrado |
| tu | terias frustrado |
| você | teria frustrado |
| ele/ela | teria frustrado |
| nós | teríamos frustrado |
| vós | teríeis frustrado |
| vocês | teriam frustrado |
| eles/elas | teriam frustrado |
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 frustrado | I will have been frustrated |
| tu | terás frustrado | you will have been frustrated |
| você | terá frustrado | you will have been frustrated |
| ele/ela | terá frustrado | he/she/it will have been frustrated |
| nós | teremos frustrado | we will have been frustrated |
| vós | tereis frustrado | you (pl.) will have been frustrated |
| vocês | terão frustrado | you (pl.) will have been frustrated |
| eles/elas | terão frustrado | they will have been frustrated |
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 | frustre-me |
| tu | frustres-te |
| você | frustre-se |
| ele/ela | frustre-se |
| nós | frustremo-nos |
| vós | frustreis-vos |
| vocês | frustrem-se |
| eles/elas | frustrem-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 | frustrasse-me |
| tu | frustrasses-te |
| você | frustrasse-se |
| ele/ela | frustrasse-se |
| nós | frustrássemo-nos |
| vós | frustrásseis-vos |
| vocês | frustrassem-se |
| eles/elas | frustrassem-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 |
|---|---|
| tu | frustra-te |
| você | frustre-se |
| ele/ela | frustre-se |
| nós | frustremo-nos |
| vós | frustrai-vos |
| vocês | frustrem-se |
| eles/elas | frustrem-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.
Não falemos com pressa, está tudo calmo.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| tu | não te frustres |
| você | não se frustre |
| ele/ela | não se frustre |
