concedas

Concedas is the second-person singular present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb conceder, meaning to grant, concede, or permit. It is not a standalone verb but a conjugated form used in subordinate clauses or in certain command constructions.

Etymology and meaning: Conceder derives from Latin concedere, from con- (together) and cedere (to yield). In modern Spanish, conceder covers granting permissions, rights, favors, or approvals, among other senses. The present subjunctive, as embodied by concedas, is used in contexts that express desire, doubt, emotion, or hypothetical situations, often following verbs of wishing or after certain conjunctions.

Usage: Concedas appears in clauses that require the subjunctive mood, typically after verbs like esperar, desear, dudar, temer, or after phrases introduced by para que, aunque, ojalá, or cuando in future or hypothetical contexts. Examples: “Espero que me concedas una prórroga.” “Quiero que tú me concedas una oportunidad.” In negative imperatives, the form also appears in the subjunctive: “No concedas permisos sin consultar.”

Morphology: The present subjunctive of conceder follows the pattern for -er verbs: yo conceda, tú concedas, él conceda, nosotros concedamos, vosotros concedáis, ellos concedan. Concedas is the second-person singular form.
