not in dictionary

[HAOLE BOY]

convirtir is not in the dictionary. I have seen it used a lot in the sports section, especially with the mundial. e.g. Italia se convirtio en la gran estrella indiscutible...

Hola Haloe Boy!
The verb is "convertir", later the declination makes it "convirtió"
Yo me convertí en elefante I convert/shaped? myself in an elephant
Tu te convertiste en elefante
El se convirtió
Nosotros nos convertimos
Vosostros os convertisteis
Ellos se convirtieron.

Saludos

no, that is a different verb. convirtir means to pull off or convert.

[sosia]

From http://www.wordreference.com/
convertir verbo transitivo
1 to turn, change
2 Rel to convert

I only know this. I don't know "convirtir". Sorry

[HAOLE BOY]

I appreciate your help. I'm wondering if somehow they are the same?

I agree with sosia on this. It's convertir and the e changes to i in some conjugations as already mentioned.
