Sigo

Sigo is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb seguir. It translates as "I continue" or "I follow" and is used to describe ongoing actions, routines, or attempts. For example: "sigo trabajando" means I continue working, and "sigo tus instrucciones" means I follow your instructions.

Origin and conjugation: Seguir comes from Latin sequi "to follow." In modern Spanish its present tense forms are irregular: yo sigo, tú sigues, él sigue, nosotros seguimos, vosotros seguís, ellos siguen. The stem changes from e to i in several forms, a characteristic irregularity of this verb.

Usage notes: Sigo appears in many constructions expressing persistence, progression, or sequence. It often implies continuity toward a goal, as in "sigo adelante" (I go on) or "sigo pensando" (I still think). It can also denote adherence, e.g., "sigo las reglas" (I follow the rules). Depending on context, alternatives like "continuar" or "prosseguir" may be used, though they carry slightly different nuances—continuar emphasizes general continuation, while seguir emphasizes following a path or instruction.

Other meanings: Aside from its verb form, "Sigo" may occur as a proper noun in various languages, such as a surname or place name. These uses are context-specific and not part of the verb's grammar.
