Answer 1

Not my writing but after some research, I found this to be the most useful verb.

Rebajar:

To put down

EX: No voy a permitir que la rebaje así con sus comentarios.

Also this discussion on WordReference was helpful. The answer was provided by a native Spanish speaker from Honduras.

Denigrar:

Desprestigiar o insultar a alguien.

Menospreciar:

Tener a una cosa o a una persona en menos de lo que es o de lo que merece

Minusvalorar:

Subestimar,valorar en menos de lo debido.

Yes, good ones. - annierats, Mar 11, 2013

Answer 2

Hacer caer, might work. Tus palabras no me van a hacer caer. ( this is a quick guess, pls note).

I'm thinking on it ! I think there will be many ways of saying this and also that the meaning is very varied in English.

Wolfie, my dog, brought down a deer.

Mi perro, Wolfie, ha matado a un ciervo.

Answer 3

After thinking I have come up with: Hacer polvo o abatir.

Vale, creo que hay otras posibilidades.
