Common mistakes

  1. Wrong: Yo solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio. — Right: Yo me solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio. — Solidarizarse is reflexive, so the pronoun me is required: without it the verb means something else, or nothing at all.
  2. Wrong: Espero que yo me solidarize con las víctimas del incendio. — Right: Espero que yo me solidarice con las víctimas del incendio. — Spelling change: this verb is , so the present subjunctive is solidarice, never solidarize.
  3. Wrong: Treating solidarizarse and apoyar as identical in every context. — Right: Solidarizarse means to show solidarity, while apoyar means to support. — They overlap, but each has uses the other does not: solidarizarse fits sentences such as Me solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio, while apoyar belongs in a different sentence. Check the meaning you want before choosing.
  4. Wrong: Yo soy solidarizado con los trabajadores en huelga. — Right: Yo he solidarizado con los trabajadores en huelga. — Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he solidarizado, has solidarizado, ha solidarizado. Ser plus the participle makes a passive, not a perfect tense.
  5. Wrong: De niño, yo solidaricé con su amiga enferma todos los días. — Right: De niño, yo solidarizaba con su amiga enferma todos los días. — For a repeated habit in the past, use the imperfect (solidarizaba), not the preterite. The preterite (solidaricé) is for one finished action.

Frequently asked questions

What does solidarizarse mean in English?

Solidarizarse means to show solidarity. It is used in everyday situations such as Me solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio. The exact English wording depends on the context, but the core meaning stays the same across the tenses.

Is solidarizarse a reflexive verb?

Yes. Solidarizarse is reflexive, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun that matches the person: me, te, se, nos, os or se. For example, Me solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio and él se solidariza con los trabajadores en huelga. If you leave the pronoun out, the verb changes meaning or stops making sense.

What is the difference between solidarizarse and apoyar?

Solidarizarse means to show solidarity, while apoyar means to support. They are easy to confuse because they appear in similar situations, but they are not interchangeable: use solidarizarse when you mean to show solidarity, as in Me solidarizo con las víctimas del incendio, and use apoyar for to support. When in doubt, check the object of the sentence — it usually shows which verb fits.

How do I say “I show solidarity” in the past?

It depends on the kind of past. For one finished action, use the preterite: yo me solidaricé con los trabajadores en huelga. For a repeated habit or background in the past, use the imperfect: yo me solidarizaba con su amiga enferma. For something that has just happened, use the present perfect: yo me he solidarizado con los trabajadores en huelga.

How do I practise solidarizarse?

Start with the present tense table, then drill the preterite and the imperfect, since those two past tenses cause the most mistakes. Try the solidarizarse examples and quiz page for more sentences, and use the Spanish Verb Quiz to test the forms under pressure.
