Consique?

Question

What does consique mean? It's in the Ricky Martin song, the cup of life.

Answer 1

I agree, I have just tried the link you posted and you can put in a verb conjugation which will take you to the infinitive.

Answer 2

Typing consigue in WR (Spanish to English) gives me the following;

Del verbo conseguir: (conjugar)
consigue es:
3ª persona singular (él/ella/usted) presente indicativo
2ª persona singular (tú) imperativo

I think for most of us the answer is helpful. It gives us the infinitive and what the conjugated form is.

Answer 3

Very true Heidita.

Answer 4

You are the second one saying it, so it must be me. Also, I may have a blind mouse. -) (see no eyes)
Still, if you cannot guess the infinitive of the verb, the best place to get help is here on the Forum, and the second best for me is the earlier given URL.

Answer 5

I have just seen this psot, Zoltan, this works in the verb conjugator, but not in the dictionary. I hadn't seen this new feature yet.

In any case, here it would have been no good either as the verb was spelled incorrectly. And "consique" is not recognized.

Answer 6

the system works for me fine.

True, this has been suggested before (recognition of a conjugated verb), we are working on it....
(as a matter of fact, not even WR dictionaries do that!)

Answer 7

Hi Zoltan
I just double clicked on the verb "conseguir" and it took me straight to it.

Your dream came true, visit the following URL;

Type a verb into the conjugator and click on Conjugar.

Answer 9

Adding every possible conjugation of a verb to a dictionary is pretty much impossible. Yes, it would be nice if the computer could recognize each and every verb conjugation of each and every verb, but it would also be nice if you won the lottery and could pay a native speaker with multiple degrees in the language to follow you around and answer all your questions for you. Seeing the word in context will usually let you know that it's a verb and who the subject is, from where you can easily find the infinitive of the verb to look up.

When I double-clicked on "conseguir" (as it is in the above post, with the quotation marks), the site immediately tool me to the definition. I'm sorry it didn't work for you.

Answer 10

The spelling of the word is incorrect, the q should be g, that is the word should be written as consigue. I is the present tense third person singular of conseguir, that is to achieve, obtain.

Answer 11

Sorry Heidita, The "double click" function on this site is lame, or at least, it does not want to work for me. The result I receive is - Sorry, we could not find ""conseguir"" in the dictionary. The system should have recognize the original quotation marks and strip them. Before the "double click" will be useful here, we should direct the members to a better dictionary site where a conjugated form of a verb is recognized. Too opinionated am I'

Answer 12

Hi Lana, welcome!

consigue: verb "conseguir"

You will get a definiton and conjugation here:

discovered the "double click" function yet? Just click on the word you are looking for and it will lead you directly to the dictionary and the different "discussions" with the word involved.
I hope that's useful.
