Descorazonar conjugation
Table of Contents
Descorazonar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to discourage, dishearten”.
Below are all of the conjugations for descorazonar in Spanish, in all three moods (indicative/indicativo, subjunctive/subjunctivo and imperative/imperativo) and all of the tenses, for each pronoun.

The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he descorazonado and hubiera descorazonado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have discouraged).
