apruebo

Apruebo is a Spanish verb form that means “I approve.” It is the first-person singular present indicative form of aprobar, a verb meaning to approve, endorse, or pass (a proposal, law, or measure). The corresponding noun is aprobación, used to denote approval or endorsement. The verb comes from Latin approbare, built from ad- “toward” and probare “to test, prove.”

In everyday language, apruebo is used to express personal agreement or support with a proposal, plan, or action. Examples include phrases like “Apruebo la propuesta” (I approve the proposal) or “Yo apruebo esa decisión.” Other conjugations of aprobar handle subject and tense, such as apruebas (you approve) or aprobamos (we approve).

The term also has notable political usage in Spanish-speaking countries. In Chile, during the 2020 national plebiscite, ballots presented two options: “Apruebo” and “Rechazo,” corresponding to voting in favor of or against the proposed new constitution. The slogan and media use of Apruebo has continued in discussions about constitutional reform and related referendums in the region.

Summary: apruebo functions as a standard present-tense form of aprobar, widely used across formal and informal contexts to indicate endorsement, with particular salience in political referendums where “Apruebo” signifies a yes vote.
