aboguéis

Aboguéis is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb abogar, which means to advocate, plead, or defend. It is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood, typically after expressions of doubt, possibility, desire, necessity, or emotion.

In usage, aboguéis appears in Spain and other regions that use the vosotros form. It is common in formal or literary registers and in written Spanish. In most Latin American dialects, the corresponding present subjunctive form for ustedes is aboguen, as the vosotros form is rarely used outside Spain.

Etymology traces abogar to the Latin advocare, meaning to call to help or to solicit support. The form aboguéis follows regular Spanish conjugation patterns for -ar verbs in the present subjunctive for vosotros.

Examples:

- Es posible que aboguéis por un acuerdo.

- Espero que aboguéis por los derechos de los trabajadores.

- Es importante que aboguéis por la defensa de los intereses de la comunidad.

Notes:

- The use of vosotros and its subjunctive forms, including aboguéis, reflects regional variation within the Spanish-speaking world.

- The corresponding present subjunctive for ustedes is aboguen, and both forms may appear in different regional texts to convey the same subjunctive meaning.
