Divertirse is a Spanish verb that refers to having fun or having a good time. Divertirse is a reflexive verb, which is accompanied by reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, se). Also, the verb divertirse is an -ir stem-changing verb, which means in some conjugations, the vowel e of the root becomes Ie when it is stressed.
For example, yo me divierto (I have fun). In other conjugations, the e changes simply to i, like in ella se divirtió (she had fun). In this article, you will find divertirse conjugations for the present, past, and future indicative, the present and past subjunctive, the imperative, and other verb forms.
Divertir and Divertirse Conjugation
When used divertirse reflexively, the term divertirse refers to having fun or having a good time. It can also be used non-reflexively, as divertir. It is a transitive verb that means to entertain or amuse someone in that case. For example, El payaso divierte a los niños (The clown amuses the children). When divertir is used, it is usually about amusing people, and for that reason, you must include the preposition a, also called the personal a, between the verb and the direct object.
Another point to note about the verb divertir is that its past participle, divertido, is used as an adjective that means “fun”. For example, La fiesta fue muy divertida (The party was a lot of fun).
