celebran

Celebran is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb celebrar, meaning to celebrate. It is used when the subject is they or you all (ustedes in many Spanish-speaking regions) and denotes ongoing or habitual celebration in the present.

Etymology and morphology: Celebrar is a regular -ar verb that derives from Latin celebrare, related to festive rites and ceremonies. In the present indicative, the standard endings for -ar verbs apply: celebr-o, celebr-as, celebr-a, celebr-amos, celebr-áis, celebr-an. Therefore, the form celebran follows the expected pattern for ellos/ellas/ustedes.

Usage: Celebran appears in statements such as "Ellos celebran su victoria" (They celebrate their victory) or "Ustedes celebran la boda este fin de semana" (You all celebrate the wedding this weekend). It is common in everyday discourse, news reporting, and narrative descriptions involving celebrations, events, or commemorations.

Related forms: Related tenses and forms include celebró (pretérito perfecto simple, he/she celebrated), celebraban (imperfect), celebraré (future), and celebren (present subjunctive) used in contexts like "Espero que celebren pronto." The gerund celebrando and the past participle celebrado are also used with auxiliary verbs to form progressive and perfect aspects.
