Afegeixes

Afegeixes is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Catalan verb afegir, meaning you add or you are adding. It is a transitive verb used to indicate the addition of an element to another object or situation. The verb shows stem variation in the present tense, with forms such as jo afegeixo and tu afegeixes.

Conjugation in the present indicative is: jo afegeixo, tu afegeixes, ell afegeix, nosaltres afegim, vosaltres afegiu, ells afegeixen. The tu form afegeixes is the one that corresponds to the word afegeixes in isolation, while the third-person singular form is afegeix.

Afegeixes is commonly used in cooking, where a person adds ingredients, as in “Afeigeixes la sal al brou” (You add the salt to the broth). It also appears in mathematical or analytical contexts, for example when describing the addition of numbers, and in figurative language, such as adding comments or elements to a discussion.

Etymology-wise, afegir is a Latinate Catalan verb used widely to mean “to add.” Its present-tense forms reveal a stem that changes to afegeix- across different persons, with the notable exception of the jo form, which becomes afegeixo. The word is standard in Catalan and is used in Valencian and Balearic varieties with the same meaning.
