amplíen

Amplíen is a form of the Spanish verb ampliar, which means to enlarge or extend. It is the third-person plural present subjunctive form (ustedes/ellos) and also the affirmative imperative form for ustedes. The spelling carries an accent on the í: amplíen, to indicate the correct stress in the subjunctive ending.

Uses and context: In standard Spanish, the present subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses after expressions

Examples:

- Quiero que amplíen la investigación.

- Es posible que amplíen el plazo de entrega.

- Amplíen la imagen para ver los detalles.

Notes: The accent on í is required to preserve the correct stress pattern of the subjunctive ending.
