Antojarse conjugation
Table of Contents
Antojarse is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to want, fancy, feel like”.
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 antojo) or after the infinitive (e.g. Él tiene que antojarse).
Below are all of the conjugations for antojarse 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.

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

The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was feeling like” or “she was feeling like” 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 |

Antojarse 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 felt like” and “she has felt like”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me he antojado | I have felt like |
| Tú | te has antojado | You have felt like |

Antojarse Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would feel like” or “she would feel like”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.

The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will feel like” or “they will feel like”.
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 antojarse” means “They are going to feel like”.
