decrezco

Decrezco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb decrecer, meaning to decrease, diminish, or shrink. Decrecer is an intransitive verb that describes a reduction in size, amount, or intensity. The word derives from Latin decrescere, formed by de- (down) and crescere (to grow).

Present tense conjugation (indicative) of decrecer is: yo decrezco, tú decreces, él decrece, nosotros decrecemos, vosotros decrecéis, ellos decrecen. The yo form decrezco is a regular -er verb pattern in the present, while the other forms follow standard endings for -er verbs.

Usage and nuances: decrezco is used to describe declines in quantities, sizes, values, or levels, such as populations, temperatures, prices, or interest. It is typically employed in both formal and written contexts as well as in everyday speech when the emphasis is on a downward trend or reduction over time. Decrezco is intransitive, so it does not take a direct object.

Related forms include decreciente (decreasing, adj.) and decrecimiento (decline, decrease, noun). The term contrasts with crecer (to grow) and its forms, which describe increases. Examples: La población decrezco en la región tras la migración; Las ventas decrecen durante la recesión.
