congregan

Congregan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb congregar, which means to gather, assemble, or unite people or things. The infinitive is congregar. The verb derives from Latin congregare, from com- “together” and greg- “flock, herd.”

It is commonly used to describe groups forming around a place, event, or cause. It is transitive and takes a direct object: “La iglesia congrega a cientos de fieles cada domingo.” “La marcha congrega a manifestantes de varias ciudades.” In some contexts, the verb can refer to organizations gathering people for an activity, such as “La empresa congrega a sus empleados para la reunión anual.” The pronominal form “congregarse” means to come together or assemble: “El público se congrega en la plaza.”

The noun la congregación refers to the act of gathering or a religious community; la congregación can also mean a church congregation.
