condenan

Condenan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb condenar. The word conveys the act of condemning, which can mean to legally sentence someone, or to strongly disapprove or censore someone’s actions. The form is used with plural subjects such as “ellos,” “ellas,” or the formal “ustedes.”

Condenar is a transitive verb. It is conjugated as condeno, condenas, condena, condenamos, condenáis (in Spain), condenan. In Latin American Spanish, the second-person plural generally uses “ustedes” rather than “vosotros,” but the verb form remains condenan for “you all condemn.” The noun forms related to this verb include condenación (condemnation) and condenado (condemned).

Usage of condenan commonly appears in legal, political, and social contexts. In legal texts, it describes judges or courts delivering a sentence: “Los jueces condenan al acusado.” In news and public discourse, it denotes official or collective censure: “La comunidad condena la violencia.” In everyday speech, it can express moral disapproval: “La sociedad condena esas conductas.” The sense emphasizes a formal or public judgment rather than mere personal opinion.

Examples:

- Los jueces condenan a la pena de prisión al acusado.

- La comunidad condena la violencia de este acto.

Condenan is closely related to forms such as condena (he/she/you condemn), condenado (condemned), and condenación (condemnation), which share the same semantic field of judgment and censure.
