comenten

Comenten is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb comentar. It functions as the present subjunctive form for the third-person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes) and as the affirmative imperative form for ustedes, used to give a command or request to a group.

Grammatically, comentar is an -ar verb, so the present subjunctive endings for -ar verbs with ustedes are -en, yielding comente, comenten, etc. In addition to its subjunctive use, comente also appears as the formal plural imperative for ustedes, identical in form to the subjunctive in this case. The distinction between subjunctive and imperative is determined by sentence structure rather than by the word itself.

Usage examples illustrate its dual role. As a subjunctive: Es necesario que ustedes comenten sus dudas. As an imperative: Comenten sus respuestas al final de la sesión. In both cases, the form signals to a group of people to provide comments or feedback.

Regional notes indicate that comente is widely understood across Spanish-speaking regions, with ustedes as the standard second-person plural in formal or mixed contexts. In informal settings using vosotros, the corresponding forms are different (for example, comentad in many varieties of Spain).
