Instituis

Instituis is a Latin verb form meaning "you establish" or "you institute." It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb instituere, a third-conjugation verb meaning to establish, set up, or institute. In classical Latin, it appears with an implied subject “tu” and typically governs a direct object in the accusative, for example, Legem instituis, “you establish a law.”

Etymology and grammar: instituere is formed from the verb stem institu- with the standard third-conjugation endings. The principal parts are instituō, instituere, institūtī, institutum. The present active indicative forms include instituō, instituis, instituit, instituimus, instituitis, instituunt. The word group is commonly used in contexts of founding or establishing something—laws, institutions, practices, or rites.

Usage and context: In classical Latin, instituit appears in legal, political, and religious writings to denote the founding or formal establishment of an entity or procedure. It can take a variety of direct objects, such as legem (law), res (things, affairs), urbs (the city), or consilium (a council), depending on what is being established.

See also: institution (from the same root), instituere (to found or establish), and related terms such as instaurare or condere, which describe different aspects of founding, restoring, or setting up. In modern usage, "instituis" appears primarily in Latin texts or scholarly discussions of Latin grammar and philology.
