Conjugation of mujer? - Administrator Attention Required

Question

Why is there a conjugation for mujer on the dictionary page?

• I hope you don't mind that I changed the title. Maybe this will attract the attention of someone who can fix it! :) - Valerie Nov 1, 2009
• I certainly don't mind! - schub Nov 1, 2009
• I changed the category to "website questions." - --Mariana-- Nov 1, 2009

Answer 1

Most of the women I know are hard workers. Maybe they need an action verb named after them. We could make it interchangeable with the verb hacer.

Answer 2

Oh my goodness! You're right, there is!! Someone should fix this!!

Answer 3

To conjugate simply means to change. I think it's a great idea to have this feature available for nuestras mujeres.

Thank you SpanishDict!!!!

Answer 4

I have reported this to Paralee. Who knows, the Spanish may have invented a new verb, hehe

I woman

you woman

he/she/it womans

etc

etc

etc.

Answer 5

Could it be an archaic verb? English can use "wife" as a verb, but it is very archaic. Example: He took her to wife. (That really is an infinitive "to wife"). Theoretically, it could be fully conjugated, but typically it is used as an infinitive after the verb "to take."

Here's a dictionary entry to prove it...just so you don't think I'm making it up.

• To wife is seriously a verb? Hmm, interesting. :P - Nick-Cortina Nov 2, 2009

Answer 6

My question is why would anybody be looking for a conjugation of mujer.

Answer 7

I have reopened the thread, this is too funny to keep it from others!

Good catch, schub

You are right montague...who in the world would look for a conjugation of "mujer"??

• Thanks, Heidita. I thought this thread could generate laughter and a lot of points. I was a little sad when it closed. - Rex_W Nov 2, 2009

Answer 8

I really love this one It's a pity it'll have to be deleted! (Well, if there's a verb "hombrear", why not have "mujer"?)

Yaron Cohen se mujió en Dana International y ganó el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión 1998 con la canción "Diva".

• Then that would be "mujerar". Sounds like a good verb to me. - Eddy Nov 2, 2009

Answer 9

Do you suppose someone confused conjugating with conjugalating??

If conjugating just means changing the endings, doesn't conjugalating change everyones happy endings??

I'm glad my conjugalated partner is not looking over my shoulder!! The ending of my day would be very different.

• Oh, Moe! That's hysterical! - Goyo Nov 2, 2009
• "conjugal" is an adjective. If you need a verb, it would be "conjugalize" (and, even then, it would be intransitive). - samdie Nov 2, 2009
• why intransitive, samdie? I bet someone could "conjugalize" a visit to a prisoner, for example.... ;) - Valerie Nov 5, 2009

Answer 10

One day I am going to make a list of "impossible issues" on the site, and this one so far is the winner! I have never seen anything like it and I am showing this to all my students!

I am not reporting this, sorry, this is too funny to be true

Answer 11

Darn it! Just when I thought that I was getting the hang of my verb tenses, up pops another one of those pesky irregular -er verbs. GRRrrrrrrrr.....

• jejejejejejejjej:::rolling on the floor::::::: - Heidita Nov 2, 2009
• My student is too....she had a wonderful time making up sentences with mujiamos un poco por la tarde....lol - Heidita Nov 2, 2009
• or was that mujamos???? I will have to look it up... - Heidita Nov 2, 2009
• what I want to know is how do you translate "estoy mujiendo" or "había mujido antes de ser una persona de edad" - Izanoni1 Nov 2, 2009

Answer 12

Ok, I thought you were just being silly but OH MY WORD! That is strange, unless of course there is another use for "mujer" that I do not know. This could be the case because I've been wrong on multiple occasions!!

• I was thinking the same thing, which is why I didn't say it was a mistake! - schub Nov 1, 2009

Answer 13

there is no conjugation of mujer... it means wife

Answer 14

Wait a minute...you mean when I taught my students "yo mujo, yo muji, yo mujía, yo he mujido, estoy mujiendo, etc" and - best of all "muja Ud!" it was WRONG???í

• that is verb mujir and not mujer - juluque Feb 9, 2010
