I Need Help With the Conjugations For Atorar

Question

I tried to translate a sentence in Spanish.Dict using the first person present tense of ätorar as shown in their list of conjugations. The sentence I wrote is Estoy atuero en el tráfico - I am stuck in traffic. Spanish.Dict did not recognize the word "atuero", which is what Spanish.Dict. is showing in their list of conjugations for the word atorar.

However, when I wrote the sentence as Estoy atoro en el tráfico, Spanish,Dict translated this as I am stuck in traffic. I found another site that showed the first person present tense to be "atoro". I also typed this sentence on another site using the word "atuero" and again it did not recognize this word as the first person present tense of "atorar". So what am I doing wrong?? Please help me!!

Answer 2

The dictionary here has the wrong conjugation for atorar. It's just a regular -ar verb.

Thank you!! Thank you!! That's what I thought, but since I am a beginner, and I look at Spanish.Dict to be the authority, I thought I would ask the question and see what answers I get. How do we get them to correct this if it is wrong? - Nilda-Ballardo, Aug 13, 2010

It's been brought up a couple of times. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed, yet. - KevinB, Aug 13, 2010

Have you told Paralee about the error? - 0074b507, Aug 13, 2010

I personally haven't. It's been the topic of several threads. Maybe it slipped through the cracks. - KevinB, Aug 14, 2010

Answer 4

You could say "Atuero en el tráfico", or "Estoy atascado en el tráfico". "Estoy atuero" is putting two verbs together, like saying "I am I am stuck". But mainly, it seems that you need to study up a bit on basic Spanish grammar. Good luck, and welcome to the site!

If you take your first sentence above and try to translate it in Spanish.Dict, it will not translate the word "atuero", that is, it will not recognize the word. Is atuero the correct form for the present tense first person of atorar??? - Nilda-Ballardo, Aug 13, 2010

The conjugation in SpanishDict is wrong. It's a regular -ar verb. - KevinB, Aug 13, 2010
