zangar-se — Portuguese conjugation
to get angry
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 | zango-me | I get angry |
| tu | zangas-te | you get angry |
| você | zanga-se | you get angry |
| ele/ela | zanga-se | he/she/it gets angry |
| nós | zangamo-nos | we get angry |
| vós | zangais-vos | you (pl.) get angry |
| vocês | zangam-se | you (pl.) get angry |
| eles/elas | zangam-se | they get angry |
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 | zanguei-me | I got angry |
| tu | zangaste-te | you got angry |
| você | zangou-se | you got angry |
| ele/ela | zangou-se | he/she/it got angry |
| nós | zangamo-nos | we got angry |
| vós | zangastes-vos | you (pl.) got angry |
| vocês | zangaram-se | you (pl.) got angry |
| eles/elas | zangaram-se | they got angry |
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 | zangava-me |
| tu | zangavas-te |
| você | zangava-se |
| ele/ela | zangava-se |
| nós | zangávamo-nos |
| vós | zangáveis-vos |
| vocês | zangavam-se |
| eles/elas | zangavam-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 | zangar-me-ia | I would get angry |
| tu | zangar-te-ias | you would get angry |
| você | zangar-se-ia | you would get angry |
| ele/ela | zangar-se-ia | he/she/it would get angry |
| nós | zangar-nos-íamos | we would get angry |
| vós | zangar-vos-íeis | you (pl.) would get angry |
| vocês | zangar-se-iam | you (pl.) would get angry |
| eles/elas | zangar-se-iam | they would get angry |
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 | zangar-me-ei | I will get angry |
| tu | zangar-te-ás | you will get angry |
| você | zangar-se-á | you will get angry |
| ele/ela | zangar-se-á | he/she/it will get angry |
| nós | zangar-nos-emos | we will get angry |
| vós | zangar-vos-eis | you (pl.) will get angry |
| vocês | zangar-se-ão | you (pl.) will get angry |
| eles/elas | zangar-se-ão | they will get angry |
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 zangado | I have gotten angry |
| tu | tens zangado | you have gotten angry |
| você | tem zangado | you have gotten angry |
| ele/ela | tem zangado | he/she/it has gotten angry |
| nós | temos zangado | we have gotten angry |
| vós | tendes zangado | you (pl.) have gotten angry |
| vocês | têm zangado | you (pl.) have gotten angry |
| eles/elas | têm zangado | they have gotten angry |
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 zangado | I had gotten angry |
| tu | tinhas zangado | you had gotten angry |
| você | tinha zangado | you had gotten angry |
| ele/ela | tinha zangado | he/she/it had gotten angry |
| nós | tínhamos zangado | we had gotten angry |
| vós | tínheis zangado | you (pl.) had gotten angry |
| vocês | tinham zangado | you (pl.) had gotten angry |
| eles/elas | tinham zangado | they had gotten angry |
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 zangado |
| tu | terias zangado |
| você | teria zangado |
| ele/ela | teria zangado |
| nós | teríamos zangado |
| vós | teríeis zangado |
| vocês | teriam zangado |
| eles/elas | teriam zangado |
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 zangado | I will have gotten angry |
| tu | terás zangado | you will have gotten angry |
| você | terá zangado | you will have gotten angry |
| ele/ela | terá zangado | he/she/it will have gotten angry |
| nós | teremos zangado | we will have gotten angry |
| vós | tereis zangado | you (pl.) will have gotten angry |
| vocês | terão zangado | you (pl.) will have gotten angry |
| eles/elas | terão zangado | they will have gotten angry |
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 | zangue-me |
| tu | zangues-te |
| você | zangue-se |
| ele/ela | zangue-se |
| nós | zanguemo-nos |
| vós | zangueis-vos |
| vocês | zanguem-se |
| eles/elas | zanguem-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 | zangasse-me |
| tu | zangasses-te |
| você | zangasse-se |
| ele/ela | zangasse-se |
| nós | zangássemo-nos |
| vós | zangásseis-vos |
| vocês | zangassem-se |
| eles/elas | zangassem-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 | zanga-te |
| você | zangue-se |
| ele/ela | zangue-se |
| nós | zanguemo-nos |
| vós | zangai-vos |
| vocês | zanguem-se |
| eles/elas | zanguem-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 zangues |
| você | não se zangue |
| ele/ela | não se zangue |
| nós | não nos zanguemos |
