asista

Asista is a Spanish inflected form of the verb asistir, meaning to attend or be present. In contemporary usage, asista appears as the third-person singular present subjunctive and as the formal second-person singular imperative form (usted) in the present tense. This makes it a common form in subordinate clauses that express wishes, doubts, or hypothetical situations, as well as in polite commands.

In grammar, asistir is a regular -ir verb, and the present subjunctive forms include asista, asistas, asista, asistamos, asistáis, asistan. The imperative form used for formal address is also asista, as in Asista usted a la reunión. The infinitive is asistir, and related forms include asistido (past participle) and asistencia (attendance or the act of attending).

Etymologically, asista derives from the Latin assistere, a common root also found in its Romance-language cognates such as French assister and Italian assistere. In English-language contexts, asista is primarily encountered as a Spanish verb form rather than a standalone term with a separate meaning.

Beyond its grammatical function, asista does not denote a widely recognized concept, organization, or proper noun in English-language reference works. It is best understood as a morphological form used within sentences to express attendance-related actions in formal or subjunctive settings. Related terms in Spanish include asistir, asistencia, and asistente, which share the same root and field of meaning.
