horrorizar-se — Portuguese conjugation
to be horrified
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 | horrorizo-me | I am horrified |
| tu | horrorizas-te | you are horrified |
| você | horroriza-se | you are horrified |
| ele/ela | horroriza-se | he/she/it is horrified |
| nós | horrorizamo-nos | we are horrified |
| vós | horrorizais-vos | you (pl.) are horrified |
| vocês | horrorizam-se | you (pl.) are horrified |
| eles/elas | horrorizam-se | they are horrified |
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 | horrorizei-me | I was horrified |
| tu | horrorizaste-te | you were horrified |
| você | horrorizou-se | you were horrified |
| ele/ela | horrorizou-se | he/she/it was horrified |
| nós | horrorizamo-nos | we were horrified |
| vós | horrorizastes-vos | you (pl.) were horrified |
| vocês | horrorizaram-se | you (pl.) were horrified |
| eles/elas | horrorizaram-se | they were horrified |
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 | horrorizava-me |
| tu | horrorizavas-te |
| você | horrorizava-se |
| ele/ela | horrorizava-se |
| nós | horrorizávamo-nos |
| vós | horrorizáveis-vos |
| vocês | horrorizavam-se |
| eles/elas | horrorizavam-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 | horrorizar-me-ia | I would be horrified |
| tu | horrorizar-te-ias | you would be horrified |
| você | horrorizar-se-ia | you would be horrified |
| ele/ela | horrorizar-se-ia | he/she/it would be horrified |
| nós | horrorizar-nos-íamos | we would be horrified |
| vós | horrorizar-vos-íeis | you (pl.) would be horrified |
| vocês | horrorizar-se-iam | you (pl.) would be horrified |
| eles/elas | horrorizar-se-iam | they would be horrified |
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 | horrorizar-me-ei | I will be horrified |
| tu | horrorizar-te-ás | you will be horrified |
| você | horrorizar-se-á | you will be horrified |
| ele/ela | horrorizar-se-á | he/she/it will be horrified |
| nós | horrorizar-nos-emos | we will be horrified |
| vós | horrorizar-vos-eis | you (pl.) will be horrified |
| vocês | horrorizar-se-ão | you (pl.) will be horrified |
| eles/elas | horrorizar-se-ão | they will be horrified |
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 horrorizado | I have been horrified |
| tu | tens horrorizado | you have been horrified |
| você | tem horrorizado | you have been horrified |
| ele/ela | tem horrorizado | he/she/it has been horrified |
| nós | temos horrorizado | we have been horrified |
| vós | tendes horrorizado | you (pl.) have been horrified |
| vocês | têm horrorizado | you (pl.) have been horrified |
| eles/elas | têm horrorizado | they have been horrified |
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 horrorizado | I had been horrified |
| tu | tinhas horrorizado | you had been horrified |
| você | tinha horrorizado | you had been horrified |
| ele/ela | tinha horrorizado | he/she/it had been horrified |
| nós | tínhamos horrorizado | we had been horrified |
| vós | tínheis horrorizado | you (pl.) had been horrified |
| vocês | tinham horrorizado | you (pl.) had been horrified |
| eles/elas | tinham horrorizado | they had been horrified |
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 horrorizado |
| tu | terias horrorizado |
| você | teria horrorizado |
| ele/ela | teria horrorizado |
| nós | teríamos horrorizado |
| vós | teríeis horrorizado |
| vocês | teriam horrorizado |
| eles/elas | teriam horrorizado |
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 horrorizado | I will have been horrified |
| tu | terás horrorizado | you will have been horrified |
| você | terá horrorizado | you will have been horrified |
| ele/ela | terá horrorizado | he/she/it will have been horrified |
| nós | teremos horrorizado | we will have been horrified |
| vós | tereis horrorizado | you (pl.) will have been horrified |
| vocês | terão horrorizado | you (pl.) will have been horrified |
| eles/elas | terão horrorizado | they will have been horrified |
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 | horrorize-me |
| tu | horrorizes-te |
| você | horrorize-se |
| ele/ela | horrorize-se |
| nós | horrorizemo-nos |
| vós | horrorizeis-vos |
| vocês | horrorizem-se |
| eles/elas | horrorizem-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 | horrorizasse-me |
| tu | horrorizasses-te |
| você | horrorizasse-se |
| ele/ela | horrorizasse-se |
| nós | horrorizássemo-nos |
| vós | horrorizásseis-vos |
| vocês | horrorizassem-se |
| eles/elas | horrorizassem-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 | horroriza-te |
| você | horrorize-se |
| ele/ela | horrorize-se |
| nós | horrorizemo-nos |
| vós | horrorizai-vos |
| vocês | horrorizem-se |
| eles/elas | horrorizem-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 horrorizes |
| você | não se horrorize |
| ele/ela | não se horrorize |
