Amortizar conjugation
Table of Contents
Amortizar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to write off, pay off”.
Below are all of the conjugations for amortizar 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.

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

| Pronoun | Spanish | English |

Amortizar 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 written off” and “she has written off”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |

| Yo | he amortizado | I have written off |
| Tú | has amortizado | You have written off |
