analicen

Analicen is a Spanish verb form derived from analizar, meaning to analyze or examine. It is the present subjunctive form used for the second-person plural in many Spanish-speaking regions and can also function as the affirmative imperative for the ustedes form. In regular -ar verb conjugation, the present subjunctive endings for ustedes/ellos/ellas are -en, yielding analicen from the stem analic-. The related forms include analice (yo/él/ella or usted in the present subjunctive) and analicen (ustedes/ellos/ellas).

Usage and functions

Analicen appears most often in two contexts: as a directive to a group (the affirmative imperative for ustedes) and within subordinate clauses requiring the subjunctive mood. As a command, it is used to instruct multiple people to perform analysis, for example: Analicen el informe antes de la reunión. In subordinate clauses, it expresses doubt, possibility, or necessity, as in: Es importante que analicen los datos cuidadosamente.

Examples

- Es necesario que analicen todas las variables del experimento. (subjunctive)

- Analicen las cifras y reporten sus hallazgos. (imperative for ustedes)

Notes

Analicen is part of standard modern Spanish and is widely used in formal, academic, legal, and professional contexts. It should not be confused with forms of other verbs or with nouns; it is specifically the present subjunctive/imperative form of analizar for ustedes/ellos/ellas.
