Contemplar = to contemplate

Drop the -AR ending to find the stem

Add -ANDO for present participle

Contemplando = contemplating

I was reading a book recently where comtemplar la televisión was "watching TV." - 0074b507, Aug 30, 2011
Oh, sorry. I'm only a beginner in Spanish, so may be wrong - I'm only using what I know. :) - beginner_ben, Aug 30, 2011
Got it. I've been informed that contemplar means to contemplate or to gaze at. So, I can see where your book's translation comes from. :) - beginner_ben, Aug 31, 2011
