Aburrirse conjugation at a glance

aburrirse — to get bored / to be bored. Verb type: Regular IR. The verb is morphologically regular, but it is pronominal in this lesson. Its finite forms require a person-matching pronominal clitic, and the clitic changes position in some non-finite, periphrastic, and command constructions.

Aburrirse meaning and essential uses

Use aburrirse — to get bored or to be bored for the person who experiences boredom. The pronominal clitic is part of the construction: me aburro — I get bored, te aburres — you get bored, and so on.

A common frame is aburrirse de + noun or infinitive — to get bored of something or to get tired of doing something. The de marks what causes the boredom or what the person tires of.

• Me aburro en reuniones muy largas. — I get bored in very long meetings.
• Se aburrió de esperar. — He / she got tired of waiting.
• Nos aburrimos de la misma rutina. — We get bored with the same routine.

Aburrirse conjugation pattern

Verb type: Regular IR. Linguistically, aburrirse — to get bored / to be bored follows the regular -IR endings. Its pronominal use adds a required person-matching clitic without changing the regular verbal stem aburr- or its endings.

In ordinary finite forms the clitic comes before the conjugated verb, as in me aburría — I used to get bored. With a gerund it may precede the finite auxiliary or attach to the gerund, as in me estoy aburriendo — I am getting bored and estoy aburriéndome — I am getting bored. With ir a + infinitive — to be going to + infinitive, both me voy a aburrir — I am going to get bored and voy a aburrirme — I am going to get bored are possible.

• me aburro — I get bored
• aburriéndose — getting bored
• me he aburrido — I have gotten bored
