Disgustarse is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to be displeased or annoyed”.
It’s a reflexive verb, which means the subject performs the action upon themselves – e.g. “I wake myself”.
Reflexive verbs always carry a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos or os – which is often placed before the conjugated verb (e.g. me disgusto) or after the infinitive (e.g. Él tiene que disgustarse).
Below are all of the conjugations for disgustarse in Spanish, in all three moods (indicative/indicativo, subjunctive/subjunctivo and imperative/imperativo) and all of the tenses, for each pronoun.
The vosotros pronoun is mainly used in mainland Spain, and is the informal second-person plural – it could be considered the Spanish version of “y’all”. It is rarely found in Latin America, where ustedes is used instead.
The vos form is used instead of tú in some Spanish speaking countries of South America, especially the Southern Cone (e.g. Argentina and Uruguay) and has a different conjugation.
| English Infinitive | to be displeased or annoyed |

The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está disgustándose) and past continuous (estaba disgustándose). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. being annoyed).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he disgustado and hubiera disgustado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have been annoyed).
| Gerundio / Gerund | disgustándose |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | disgustado |
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
The present tense is as it sounds – it’s for talking about things that are currently going on, which are habitual, or which generally exist. In English, this would be “I be annoyed” or “they be annoyed”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | me disgusto |
| Tú | te disgustas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgusta |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustamos |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustan |
| Vos | te disgustás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I was annoyed” or “she was annoyed” in English.
In Spanish, there are two past tenses where just one is used in English; the pretérite infefinido is typically used to refer to a concrete, specific moment in time.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me disgusté | I was annoyed |
| Tú | te disgustaste | You was annoyed |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustó | He / she / you was annoyed |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustamos | We was annoyed |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustasteis | You was annoyed |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustaron | They / you was annoyed |
| Vos | te disgustaste | You was annoyed |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was being annoyed” or “she was being annoyed” in English, and is typically used to describe things and set a scene, talk about events without a specific timeframe, or talk about habitual events or states in the past.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me disgustaba | I was being annoyed |
| Tú | te disgustabas | You were being annoyed |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustaba | He was / she was / you were being annoyed |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustábamos | We were being annoyed |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustabais | You were being annoyed |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustaban | They / you were being annoyed |
| Vos | te disgustabas | You were being annoyed |
The perfect tense is for talking about things which happened in the past but are still related to the present or continue into the present.
In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have been annoyed” and “she has been annoyed”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me he disgustado | I have been annoyed |
| Tú | te has disgustado | You have been annoyed |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se ha disgustado | He has / she has / you have been annoyed |
| Nosotros / as | nos hemos disgustado | We have been annoyed |
| Vosotros / as | os habéis disgustado | You have been annoyed |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se han disgustado | They / you have been annoyed |
| Vos | te has disgustado | You have been annoyed |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would be annoyed” or “she would be annoyed”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me disgustaría | I would be annoyed |
| Tú | te disgustarías | You would be annoyed |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustaría | He / she / you would be annoyed |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustaríamos | We would be annoyed |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustaríais | You would be annoyed |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustarían | They / you would be annoyed |
| Vos | te disgustarías | You would be annoyed |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will be annoyed” or “they will be annoyed”.
It is more commonly used for making a hypothesis about the present. To talk about the future, Spanish speakers frequently use “ir + a + infinivo”, e.g. “van a disgustarse” means “They are going to be annoyed”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me disgustaré | I will be annoyed |
| Tú | te disgustarás | You will be annoyed |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustará | He / she / you will be annoyed |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustaremos | We will be annoyed |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustaréis | You will be annoyed |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustarán | They / you will be annoyed |
| Vos | te disgustarás | You will be annoyed |
| Pronoun | Spanish |

There are two ways to form the imperfect subjunctive.
The first option sees verbs ending in -era (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ara (for -ar verbs), while the second sees verbs ending in -ese (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ase (for -ar verbs).
There is no difference between these two forms, and Spanish speakers use them interchangeably.
| Pronoun | Spanish era/ara | Spanish ese/ase |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me disgustara | me disgustase |
| Tú | te disgustaras | me disgustase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustara | se disgustase |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustáramos | nos disgustásemos |
| Vosotros / as | os disgustarais | os disgustaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se disgustaran | se disgustasen |
| Vos | te disgustaras | me disgustase |
The future subjunctive is no longer used in modern-day Spanish, apart from in literary and legal contexts, and there is no need to learn it.
It is formed the same as the past/imperfect subjunctive, but with -e endings instead of -a endings.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | me disgustare |
| Tú | te disgustares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se disgustare |
| Nosotros / as | nos disgustáremos |
