Transitive and Intransitive Verbs in Spanish Look in just about any good Spanish or Spanish-English dictionary, and verbs will be listed as either transitive (verbo transitivo, often abbreviated in dictionaries as vt or tr) or intransitive (verbo intransitivo, often abbreviated to vi or int). These designations can give you an important clue as to how the verb is used in sentences. A transitive verb is simply one that needs a direct object (a noun or a pronoun that the verb acts upon) to complete its thought. An example of a transitive verb is the English verb "to get" and one of its Spanish equivalents, obtener. Another transitive verb is "to surpise" or its Spanish equivalent, sorprender. "To get," "to surprise," obtener and sorpender, then, are all transitive verbs. Intransitive verbs are used without objects. There are many verbs that can be used either transitively or intransitively. The distinctions between transitive and intransitive verbs usually don't give Spanish students a lot of trouble.
