constitueixen

Constitueixen is a Catalan verb form that functions as the present indicative, third-person plural of the verb constitueir (to constitute, to form, to establish). In usage, it expresses that multiple elements together form a larger whole or belong to a common set. The form is common in neutral, formal, and academic writing, as well as in journalism and administrative language.

Etymology and related forms: Constituir derives from Latin constituere, with the Catalan verb sharing cognates in other Romance languages (for example, Spanish constituir and French constituer). The present plural form follows standard Catalan conjugation patterns for -ir verbs in the third person plural, ending in -eixen. The corresponding singular forms are constitueix (third person singular present) and constituteix (first-person or other forms according to the standard paradigm), reflecting the verb’s irregularity in the present tense.

Usage notes: The subject of a sentence containing constitueixen is typically a plural noun phrase or a set of elements. The construction often names what is formed or established by the elements in question and may describe structural, organizational, or conceptual composition. In formal discourse, constituteir is employed to discuss foundational components, governing bodies, or essential parts of a system, emphasizing the act of forming a coherent whole rather than merely describing a static state.

See also: Constituir, Constitució, Constituent. While related terms cover forming, establishing, and components, constitueixen specifically marks the third-person plural present tense and is not interchangeable with all synonyms in every context.
