Ingrese

Ingresse is a verb form in Spanish derived from the verb ingresar. It functions as the formal imperative or present subjunctive form for the pronoun usted, used when giving polite instructions or making requests. In everyday usage, ingrese appears on forms and interfaces to prompt a user to input information, as in “Por favor, ingrese su nombre” or “Ingrese su contraseña.” In this context it corresponds to the English “please enter” or “please input.” The informal tú form is ingresa, and the third-person plural command for ustedes is ingresen. The nosotros form is ingresemos. These forms share the same verbal stem but differ by mood and person.

Etymology: ingresar comes from Spanish, with roots in Latin ingressus (a past participle of ingredi, to go in), formed from the prefix in- (into) and gradi (to go).

Usage and context: ingrese is most commonly encountered in formal, administrative, or user-interface language. It appears on official forms, banking sites, and other multilingual systems where politeness or formality is preferred. In everyday speech, speakers may use the informal ingresa or the other person-focused forms depending on the level of familiarity and the social context.

Cross-linguistic note: in related languages such as Portuguese, a cognate form like ingresse exists, though its usage and formality can differ between regions and regulatory styles. Overall, ingrese is understood across Spanish-speaking communities as a courteous directive to enter or input data.
