aconsejas

Aconsejas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb aconsejar. Aconsejar means to give advice or guidance intended to help someone make a decision or handle a situation. The form is used in informal contexts when speaking to someone you know well; the formal equivalent for usted is aconseja.

Conjugation in present tense is regular for an -ar verb: yo aconsejo, tú aconsejas, él aconseja, nosotros aconsejamos, vosotros aconsejáis, ellos aconsejan. The present subjunctive forms are aconseje, aconsejes, aconseje, aconsejemos, aconsejéis, aconsejen. Other tenses follow the standard -ar conjugation patterns (por ejemplo, aconsejaba, aconsejaré, aconsejaría, etc.).

Usage notes and nuances: aconsejar emphasizes giving guidance or counsel that is meant to influence another’s actions. It can be followed by a direct clause with que, as in “Tú me aconsejas que estudie más,” or used with an infinitive in some regional varieties. Aconsejar is often similar to sinónimo, recomendar, though it can carry a sense of more deliberate or thoughtful guidance.

Examples: “Tú me aconsejas que acepte ese trabajo.” “¿Qué me aconsejas hacer ahora?” The expression is common in personal conversations, mentoring, or counseling contexts, and remains neutral in tone depending on the surrounding wording.
