About the header of your "conjugation table"; please see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Spanish_conjugation where it is explained why "usted" is in person-singular-third, and why "ustedes" in person-plural-third. You have taken the exception as a rule.

The table is not about pronouns, only conjugation. The pronoun usted has been selected to represent that form. —Stephen 10:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

About the verb "abalanzar"...[edit]

I have five questions about the Spanish verb "abalanzar" if anyone can answer them for me, please?

1: Is the verb "abalanzar" the first verb in the Spanish language, or are there Spanish verbs that start with "aa"?

2: Since the verb "abalanzar" is supposed to mean "to balance, to compensate", does it mean "to balance something", does it mean "to compensate someone", or does it mean both, or does it mean something else?

3: Are there other verbs in the Spanish language that are similar to this one, if there are, what are the differences between this verb and those verbs?

Thank you very much.

ababillarse, abacorar, abadernar, and abajar come before abalanzar. I don’t know of any verb that starts with aa.
abalanzar means to balance something or someone. It also means to fling, to throw violently. The reflexive abalanzarse means to hurl oneself, to pounce, to attack, or to venture upon recklessly.
By similar, I suppose you mean other verbs that mean to balance. Other verbs that mean balance include balancear, poner en equilibrio, and equilibrar: equilibramos el presupuesto. —Stephen 04:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
