aprueben

Aprueben is the third-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb aprobar, meaning to approve. It is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood, especially after expressions of desire, recommendation, necessity, or doubt, and in formal or institutional language to express a wish, proposal, or directive directed at a group (ustedes or ellos). The form is common in legislative, administrative, or organizational contexts where decisions or approvals are discussed indirectly or in formal requests.

In practice, aprueben appears in sentences such as: Es necesario que aprueben el presupuesto. Espero que aprueben la propuesta. Los diputados deben decidir si aprueben las reformas. The construction typically follows a verb or expression that triggers the subjunctive and is often introduced by que or used in indirect speech.

Conjugation note: The present subjunctive forms of aprobar include: yo apruebe, tú apruebes, él apruebe, nosotros aprobemos, vosotros aprobéis, ellos/ustedes aprueben. The form aprueben corresponds to the third-person plural and reflects the irregular stem seen in the indicative apruebo.

Pronunciation: aprueben is pronounced approximately a-P੍ਰwe-ben, with the sequence prue functioning as in other forms like pruebe or prueba.
