Acompaño

Acompoño is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb acompañar, meaning “I accompany” or “I escort.” It denotes that the speaker is with another person or thing in the present time, often for company, support, or guidance.

The verb acompañar is regular in the present tense and follows the standard -ar conjugation: acompaño, acompañas, acompaña, acompañamos, acompañáis, acompañan. Related forms include acompañante (person who accompanies) and acompañamiento (the act or state of accompaniment). The noun accompanying the action is often used in musical or social contexts as well.

Usage is typically with the preposition a before the person or entity being accompanied: “Acompaño a mi hermana al médico.” It can also express accompaniment in musical settings: “El pianista acompaña a la solista” (the pianist provides musical accompaniment). In broader terms, acompañar can imply escort, attendance, or support in events or processes: “La alcaldesa acompaña a los invitados” or “El proyecto se acompaña de prácticas técnicas.” The sense may be literal (going somewhere with someone) or figurative (providing company or moral support).

In everyday Spanish, acompaño is common across dialects, though nuances and preferred constructions can vary by región. Understanding the object of accompaniment and the role of the accompanying instrument or person helps determine the correct phrasing. See also acompañante, acompañamiento, and acompañar.
