Why does this change?
- Stem-changing
- The vowel in the stem changes in most forms (e.g. e→ie, o→ue) — but the endings themselves stay completely regular.
- Reflexive
- The subject does the action to itself, so the verb pairs with a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, se) — e.g. levantarse, "to get (oneself) up."
- e→ie in the present tense (except nosotros)
In use · En uso
