Disfruten

Disfruten is the second-person plural form of the imperative mood of the Spanish verb disfrutar, meaning to enjoy, take pleasure in, or savor. In practice, disfruten is used to command or invite a group to have a positive experience, such as “Disfruten de la película” or “Disfruten durante su viaje.” The form also appears as the present subjunctive for the ustedes form, as in “Espero que ustedes disfruten.”

Grammatical notes: disfrutar is a regular -ar verb, so its imperative forms follow standard patterns. For ustedes, the affirmative imperative is disfruten, while the corresponding present subjunctive is also disfruten (as in “que ustedes disfruten”). Other related forms include disfruta (tú), disfrute (usted), disfrutemos (nosotros), disfrutad (vosotros), and disfruten (ustedes).

Usage and context: disfruten is common in hospitality, tourism, events, promotions, and everyday conversation when addressing a group. It conveys a courteous, friendly tone and is suitable for encouraging others to engage with an activity, experience, meal, or environment.

Translations: in English, disfruten is typically rendered as “enjoy” or “have fun,” depending on context. The word carries a positive, anticipatory nuance, inviting others to appreciate what is being offered.

Variant forms and regional use: while ustedes-based usage is widespread across Latin America and many parts of Spain, some regions may prefer alternate imperatives for groups or different levels of formality. In all cases, disfruten remains tied to the idea of taking pleasure in an experience.
