contribuiez

Contribuiez is a French verb form that belongs to the verb contribuer, meaning to contribute. It is the present subjunctive mood used with the second-person plural subject vous, or in formal address, in subordinate clauses. In other words, it corresponds to the phrase que vous contribuiez in contexts that require the subjunctive.

Morphology and related forms: contribuer in the present subjunctive is formed as que je contribue, que tu contribues, qu’il contribue, que nous contribuions, que vous contribuiez, qu’ils contribuent. The form contribualizes is distinctive for the vous subject and appears in sentences that express necessity, doubt, desire, or possibility.

Usage: Contribuiez appears after constructions that require the subjunctive, such as il faut que, afin que, pour que, bien que, or jusqu’à ce que. It signals that the action of contributing is desired, required, or hypothetical rather than asserted as a fact. It is common in formal writing, legal or administrative language, and literary contexts.

Examples:

- Il faut que vous contribuiez à ce projet. (It is necessary that you contribute to this project.)

- Bien que vous contribuiez moins cette fois, votre participation reste appréciée. (Although you contribute less this time, your participation is appreciated.)

- Pour que nous atteignions l’objectif, il faut que vous contribuiez régulièrement. (So that we reach the objective, you must contribute regularly.)

Etymology: contribuire derives from the Latin con- (“together”) and tribuere (“to bestow, to grant, to pay”), reflecting the sense of giving or adding to a common effort.
