dirigeix

Dirigeix is a Catalan verb form meaning “he/she/directs” or “you direct,” depending on the subject. It is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb dirigir, which is used to express directing, leading, or managing a person, group, project, or organization. As a present-tense form, it is commonly found in sentences describing current actions or states.

Etymology and related forms: Dirigir derives from Latin dirigere, meaning to direct or guide. In Catalan it furnishes a family of related words such as direcció (direction), directiu (directive), and director (leader or director). The present tense conjugation follows the patterns of the -ir verbs in Catalan, with other forms including dirigeixo (I direct) and diriges (you direct). The spelling dirigeix reflects the phonetic realization of the root when inflected in the third person singular.

Usage: Dirigeix is used to attribute directing actions to a subject in the present. It can govern a direct object or introduce a subordinate clause that indicates what is being directed. Examples include: El president dirigeix l’assemblea (The president directs the assembly). La professora dirigeix un projecte d’investigació (The teacher directs a research project). In formal or neutral narration, dirigeix helps convey leadership, management, or supervision in various contexts such as business, politics, culture, and administration.

Dirigeix thus encapsulates a core meaning of leadership and coordination within Catalan, anchored in its Latin origin and used across formal and informal registers.
