The first answer is wrong. It is "CONJUGATED," but it means "in a specific form" - verbs are conjugated when they are not in their infinitive form ("to be") but adapted to function in a sentence ("was," "has been,""will be," "is,"am," and so on). Conjugation is the system of forms/changes a verb can undergo.

I think you mean conjugated. It means "joined together." You did not specify the context you're using the word in (i.e. conjugating verbs). The basic, root meaning of conjugate is "to join together."
That's where the term "conjugal visit" originates from (i.e. husband and wife join together).

It is a word long feared by millions of school children who were instructed to conjugate Latin verbs - Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amati, amant. I love, you (familiar, singular) love, he/she/it loves, we love, you (formal or plural) love, they love.

It looks like you're spelling it wrong and it should be "conjugated".

To conjugate a verb means to make it agree with the subject e.g. the verb 'to be' is conjugated as follows: 'I am', 'you are', 'he/she/it is', 'we are', 'you are', 'they are'.
The subject of a verb is 'I', 'you', 'he/she/it', 'we' or 'they'.
