ha...ocurrido
(v.) (regional) (present perfect) (impersonal) occurred; happened (lit. has occurred) (Spain) While English and Latin American Spanish use the simple past (e.g. "ocurrió" or "it happened") to refer to an action completed recently in the past, speakers from Spain will employ the present perfect tense to refer to an action completed recently (e.g. "ha ocurrido" or literally "it has ocurred").
