Agreguen

Agreguen is a verb form of the Spanish verb agregar. It is the present subjunctive form for the third-person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes) and is also used as the affirmative imperative for ustedes in many dialects. In practical terms, it is the form used to tell a group to add something or to request that more items be included.

Grammatically, agregar is an -ar verb with the prefix ad- and the root greg- from Latin adgregare. In the present subjunctive, the ustedes/ellos form is agreguen. This form appears in both subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive (for example, after verbs of desire, doubt, necessity) and in direct commands addressed to a group in many Spanish-speaking regions. Examples: “Por favor, agreguen más datos a la lista.”; “Es necesario que ustedes agreguen esa información.”

Usage and context: agreguen is common in instructional or formal contexts such as manuals, recipes, data entry, and collaborative work directions. It signals that members of a group should add an item, entry, or ingredient. Because of regional variation in imperative forms, some dialects may prefer slightly different constructions for ustedes, but agreguen remains widely understood and grammatically correct in standard Spanish.

Etymology: the verb agregar derives from Latin adgregare, meaning to bring together or to add to a group. The present subjunctive form agreguen reflects standard conjugation patterns for -gar verbs in the subjunctive mood. See also agregar, subjunctive mood, and imperative mood.
