Irregular Vos forms

Question

Hi,

So, I´m looking over some lessons that are from Argentina, and it would be helpful if I understood the Vos forms better. I think I see a pattern in taking the infinitive, changing R to S, and accenting the last vowel. But, that doesn´t help with irregulars, and they´re not in the conjugator here.

Can anyone point me to a list of the irregulars, and ideally, also a more comprehensive conjugator than exists here?

Thanks. Roger

Answer 1

I thought you saw this yesterday Rog?
What is 'vos' and how do you conjugate verbs in the 'vos' form?

You're in luck there's not much to it. As I mentioned in the article the 'vos' conjugations only differ from the tú form in the present and command form and there are only 3 irregularities.

Vos sos (you are)

Vos vas (you go)

Vos has (you have)

I saw your article and it is very good. I hope that you don't/won't have any issue using vos ;) - -cae-, Dec 20, 2012

And I somehow missed it. Not sure how, as I generally ready all your stuff. Thanks, and I´ll look it over tomorrow for sure. - rogspax, Dec 20, 2012

Answer 2

Roger: You can also use the conjugator rae.es (Real Academia Española), you only have to introduce the verb in the infinitive form, resume it, and once you get the meaning of that verb, press the button "Conjugar", there you will se the conjugations using vos. In the vos form, the irregular are much more easy, for example, let's take the verb "tener",

• With "tú". Tú tienes

• With "vos". Vos tenés --> see how the ending changes. Other pronouns will still be irregular, though, like "él/ella", "usted", "nosotros", "ellos" and "yo".

I was seing the article on Wikipedia and that one is also very good, check it out and you will see other conjugations using "vos", like the cases using the imperative and subjunctive.

Ya sabes lo que dicen, donde hubo fuego, cenizas quedan. :) - -cae-, Dec 20, 2012

Thanks much amigo sin fuego. Appreciate the time and links. Now I know what I´m reading about tomorrow. - rogspax, Dec 20, 2012

My pleasure. BTW, there are actual last name in Spanish which include the word "fuego", like "Cienfuegos". - -cae-, Dec 20, 2012
