arriesguéis

Arriesguéis is the second-person plural form of the present subjunctive of the Spanish verb arriesgar, meaning “to risk.” It is used in sentences that require the subjunctive mood and, specifically, with the vosotros form in regions where the vosotros-conjugation is standard, such as Spain and parts of the Caribbean.

Formation and morphology: arriesguéis is formed from the stem arriesgu- plus the present-subjunctive ending for vosotros (-éis). The related forms include arriesgue (yo/él/ella/usted), arriesguemos (nosotros), arriesguen (ustedes/ellos/ellas); the imperative affirmative is arriesgad, and the negative tú no arriesgues, etc. In many Spanish-speaking areas that use ustedes instead of vosotros, the common present-subjunctive form is arriesguen.

Usage: The present subjunctive is used after expressions that express doubt, possibility, desire, necessity, emotion, or opinion, and after certain conjunctions, often introduced by "que." For example: “Es posible que vosotros arriesguéis todo para lograrlo.” In Latin American Spanish, the corresponding form for ustedes is arriesguen.

Pronunciation and orthography: The form is written arriesguéis with an accent on the é to indicate the correct stress. This accent helps distinguish the vosotros present-subjunctive from other forms with similar spelling.

Etymology and relation: Arriesguéis comes from arriesgar plus the standard present-subjunctive endings for -ar verbs in the vosotros form. Related forms mirror the same stem across different persons and moods.
