What does murmiendo mean because i got it from morir? Did i spell it correctly?

"muriendo" is the correct spelling - hyrumt, Jan 28, 2010

Answer 1

I don't think you can have gotten

murmiendo

from morir??? That second "m" is probably just a typo. As someone has commented, the correct spelling for the verb "morir" would be "muriendo."

A couple of other common verbs in which the "o" goes to "u" in a like manner are "dormir"...."durmiendo", "poder" ... "pudiendo".

I do not know if there are others with this "o" to "u" change, but there surely are.

Answer 2

I do not know if there are others with this "o" to "u" change, but there surely are.

All 3rd conjugation verbs that follow the pattern below would have the "u" in the Spanish gerund.

Those which have the changes o>ue>u [e.g., dormir, duermo, durmió] use that u which appears in preterit third-persons forms in the gerund: dormir > durmiendo; morir > muriendo.

Answer 3

muriendo is the gerund form of the verb morir, which means "to die".

Most gerunds are the equivilant of the "ing" in English.

That is why muriendo means dying.

Answer 4

Dying.
