not in dictionary
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...

Re: not in dictionary
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.

Re: not in dictionary
I agree with sosia on this. It's convertir and the e changes to i in some conjugations as already mentioned.
