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

Desvalorar Gerund and Past Participle

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