constituyas

Constituyas is the second-person singular present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb constituir, meaning to constitute, form, or establish. In grammar, constituyas is used in dependent clauses after expressions that require the subjunctive, such as those of desire, doubt, necessity, or possibility, and is typically introduced by que. For example: Es posible que constituyas una coalición. Quiero que constituyas un plan para el proyecto.

Morphology and related forms: The present subjunctive forms of constituir include constituyas (tú), constituya (él/ella/usted), constituyamos (nosotros), constituyáis (vosotros), and constituyan (ellos/as/ustedes). The form constituyas agrees with the subject in number and person and is used to convey hypothetical, desired, or non-factual actions.

Usage notes: Constituyas commonly appears in formal or written Spanish, such as official documents, legal language, or polished prose. In everyday speech, speakers may still use it, but in many dialects the subjunctive is simplified or replaced by other constructions in colloquial contexts. It is distinct from the indicative forms of constitutir used to state actual facts.

Etymology: The verb comes from Latin constituere, meaning to set up or establish, with the Spanish prefix con- and stem changes that produce the present subjunctive paradigm.
