Is there a verb form of tiempo?

Question

I've "searched" and cannot find a spanish verb-form of tiempo.

In English we might say "The bells were timed to ring at noon." or "She timed herself in the 100 meter dash." In these examples time is a transitive verb.

Does anyone know of a direct one-for-one translation for the verb-form of "time" into Spanish?

Thank you.

Answer 1

The dictionary has "programar" for a setting a time (scheduling). It has "cronometrar" for timing a person or race.

So for the bells, I'd use programar and for the girl timing herself, cronometrar. - Goldie_Miel, Jan 26, 2012

I must have been using the wrong search keywords. - mtmonadnock, Jan 26, 2012

No problem. I had to go waaaay down to find them. There was so much stuff written on "time". - Goldie_Miel, Jan 26, 2012
