revoluciono

Revoluciono is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb revolucionar. It means to revolutionize something or to bring about a revolution, typically implying a radical or comprehensive change rather than a minor modification. The form is used when the speaker describes their own action: “Yo revoluciono mi negocio con una nueva estrategia.”

Origin and formation: Revolucionar derives from revolución (revolution), which comes from Latin revolutio, and is built with the prefix re- plus the root related to revolución. It belongs to the -ar verb class. Other present-tense forms include revolucionas and revolucionas; the third-person singular present is revolucion (he/she revolutionizes) and revolucionó (he/she/you revolu­tion­ion­ó) in the past tense. The noun associated with the concept is revolución.

Usage and nuances: In contemporary Spanish, revolucionar is commonly used in business, technology, politics, and social discourse to denote transformative change, not merely a physical turning. It can describe both broad societal shifts and specific innovations. Examples include “Esta tecnología revolucionó la medicina” or “La empresa busca revolucionar el mercado.” While related to the idea of revolution, the verb emphasizes action and change rather than upheaval alone. Synonyms such as transformar, innovar, and reformar convey related meanings with varying degrees of emphasis on scope and pace.
