Abaratar conjugation
Table of Contents
Abaratar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to make cheaper, lower or reduce price”.
Below are all of the conjugations for abaratar 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.

Abaratar Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está abaratando) and past continuous (estaba abaratando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. reducing).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he abaratado and hubiera abaratado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have reduced).

Abaratar Indicative Conjugations
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
Abaratar Presente / Present
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 reduce” or “they reduce”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | abarato |
| Tú | abaratas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abarata |
| Nosotros / as | abaratamos |
| Vosotros / as | abaratáis |

Abaratar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I reduced” or “she reduced” 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 |
|---|---|---|

| Tú | abarataste | You reduced |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abarató | He / she / you reduced |
| Nosotros / as | abaratamos | We reduced |

| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | abarataron | They / you reduced |
| Vos | abarataste | You reduced |
Abaratar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was reducing” or “she was reducing” 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 | abarataba | I was reducing |
| Tú | abaratabas | You were reducing |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abarataba | He was / she was / you were reducing |

| Vosotros / as | abaratabais | You were reducing |

| Vos | abaratabas | You were reducing |
Abaratar Perfect / Perfecto
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 reduced” and “she has reduced”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he abaratado | I have reduced |
| Tú | has abaratado | You have reduced |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha abaratado | He has / she has / you have reduced |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would reduce” or “she would reduce”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | abarataría | I would reduce |
| Tú | abaratarías | You would reduce |

Abaratar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will reduce” or “they will reduce”.
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 abaratar” means “They are going to reduce”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | abarataré | I will reduce |
