Azuzar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to stir up, arouse, incite”.
Below are all of the conjugations for azuzar 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 stir up, arouse, incite |
|---|---|
| Spanish Infinitive | azuzar |
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está azuzando) and past continuous (estaba azuzando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. arousing).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he azuzado and hubiera azuzado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have aroused).
| Gerundio / Gerund | azuzando |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | azuzado |
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 arouse” or “they arouse”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | azuzo |
| Tú | azuzas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuza |
| Nosotros / as | azuzamos |
| Vosotros / as | azuzáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzan |
| Vos | azuzás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I aroused” or “she aroused” 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 | azucé | I aroused |
| Tú | azuzaste | You aroused |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzó | He / she / you aroused |
| Nosotros / as | azuzamos | We aroused |
| Vosotros / as | azuzasteis | You aroused |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzaron | They / you aroused |
| Vos | azuzaste | You aroused |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was arousing” or “she was arousing” 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 | azuzaba | I was arousing |
| Tú | azuzabas | You were arousing |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzaba | He was / she was / you were arousing |
| Nosotros / as | azuzábamos | We were arousing |
| Vosotros / as | azuzabais | You were arousing |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzaban | They / you were arousing |
| Vos | azuzabas | You were arousing |
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 aroused” and “she has aroused”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he azuzado | I have aroused |
| Tú | has azuzado | You have aroused |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha azuzado | He has / she has / you have aroused |
| Nosotros / as | hemos azuzado | We have aroused |
| Vosotros / as | habéis azuzado | You have aroused |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han azuzado | They / you have aroused |
| Vos | has azuzado | You have aroused |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would arouse” or “she would arouse”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | azuzaría | I would arouse |
| Tú | azuzarías | You would arouse |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzaría | He / she / you would arouse |
| Nosotros / as | azuzaríamos | We would arouse |
| Vosotros / as | azuzaríais | You would arouse |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzarían | They / you would arouse |
| Vos | azuzarías | You would arouse |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will arouse” or “they will arouse”.
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 azuzar” means “They are going to arouse”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | azuzaré | I will arouse |
| Tú | azuzarás | You will arouse |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzará | He / she / you will arouse |
| Nosotros / as | azuzaremos | We will arouse |
| Vosotros / as | azuzaréis | You will arouse |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzarán | They / you will arouse |
| Vos | azuzarás | You will arouse |
| 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 | azuzara | azuzase |
| Tú | azuzaras | azuzase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzara | azuzase |
| Nosotros / as | azuzáramos | azuzásemos |
| Vosotros / as | azuzarais | azuzaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | azuzaran | azuzasen |
| Vos | azuzaras | azuzase |
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 | azuzare |
| Tú | azuzares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | azuzare |
| Nosotros / as | azuzáremos |
