Resideixen

Resideixen is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Catalan verb residir, meaning to reside or to live in a place. It is used to indicate that multiple subjects currently have residence in a location. In everyday Catalan, the corresponding singular forms are resideix (he/she resides) and resideixo (I reside), while resideixen denotes the plural subject.

Etymology and related forms: The verb residir comes from Latin residēre, meaning to sit, remain, or settle. The Catalan form resideixen reflects regular present-tense endings for the -ir class of verbs, adapted to the phonology and orthography of Catalan. As a result, resideixen appears alongside other forms such as resideix, resideixem, and resideixen to express different persons and numbers.

Usage and context: Resideixen is commonly found in formal, administrative, or legal contexts where the location of residence or domicile of multiple entities is described. It can appear in official documents, reports, and statements that specify where a group or organization resides. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for more common verbs like viuen (they live) when the nuance of formal residency is not required.

Examples: Les empreses resideixen a Barcelona. (The companies reside in Barcelona.) Aquesta organització resideix a Madrid. (This organization resides in Madrid.)

Notes: While resideixen is correct and standard for the plural present tense of residir, some contexts may prefer synonyms such as viuen, depending on register and emphasis on residence versus general living. See also Catalan language, residir, residency.
