Enjuagan

Enjuagan is a present indicative conjugation of the Spanish verb enjuagar, which means to rinse or to wash with water in order to remove soap, dirt, or other substances. It is the form used with third‑person plural subjects: ellos enjuagan, ellas enjuagan, and ustedes enjuagan. In everyday speech, the subject pronoun is often omitted because the verb ending makes the subject clear.

Usage examples include sentences like: Ellos enjuagan los platos después de la cena. Ellas enjuagan las frutas con agua corriente. The reflexive form se enjuagan is used when the subject is rinsing a part of the body or performing the action on themselves, as in Ellos se enjuagan la cara or Ella se enjuaga el cabello.

Regional and stylistic notes: enjuagan appears in Latin American Spanish and in many other varieties as the standard third‑person plural form for the verb enjuagar. In contexts where tú, vosotros, or ustedes are involved, different conjugations apply (for example, vosotros enjuagáis in informal Spain). The verb is common in cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and related practical contexts.

Related forms include enjuague (the act or result of rinsing), enjuagado (rinse‑dried or rinsed), and the bare verb enjuagar itself. The term is used primarily in written and spoken Spanish to describe the act of rinsing a substance with water.
