Expongo

Expongo is a Spanish verb form—the first-person singular present indicative of exponer. Exponer means to expose, to display, to present, to explain, or to lay out, and in some contexts to subject someone or something to risk. The verb derives from Latin exponere, “to set forth.” Expongo is widely used in everyday speech to present arguments, evidence, motives, or findings.

Conjugation:

- Present indicative: expongo, expones, expone, exponemos, exponéis, exponen

- Present subjunctive: exponga, expongas, exponga, expongamos, expongáis, expongan

- Imperative (affirmative): expón, exponga, expongamos, exponed, expongan

- Imperative (negative): no expongas, no exponga, no expongamos, no expongáis, no expongan

Usage:

Expongo is used with a direct object: expongo mis motivos; expongo una teoría; expongo la evidencia en el informe. It is often interchangeable with presentar or exponer ideas, but it carries the nuance of presenting in a structured or argued manner for consideration, especially in formal or argumentative contexts. In legal or academic writing, it commonly signals a deliberate presentation of points for scrutiny.

Examples:

En la reunión expongo los resultados. El informe expone las causas del fallo.

Etymology:

From Latin exponere, ex- “out” + ponere “to put,” related to the noun exposición.
