disuelvan

Disuelvan is a Spanish verb form derived from disolver. It functions as the present subjunctive for the third-person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes) and as the affirmative imperative for ustedes, meaning “you all dissolve.” As a form of an -er verb with a stem change, it commonly appears in instruction, requests, and clauses expressing desire or uncertainty.

Etymology and conjugation information: disolver comes from Latin dissolvere (to loosen apart). In the present indicative the verb shows a stem change (disuel-). In the present subjunctive, the forms are disuelva, disuelvas, disuelva, disolvamos, disuelvan. Therefore, disuelvan serves as the ustedes form in the subjunctive and as the imperative for ustedes. The corresponding negative imperative is no disuelvan. These forms are used in formal or instructional contexts, and in subordinate clauses after verbs of wishing, doubt, or necessity.

Usage and examples: Disuelvan secciones sólidas en líquidos, oriente la mezcla y asegúrese de que esté completamente disuelta. In everyday or formal instructions, you might see: “Disuelvan las tabletas en agua tibia” or “Que disuelvan la sustancia para obtener una solución homogénea.” It can also appear in indirect requests: “Espero que disuelvan la muestra con cuidado.” The form is restricted to plural subject references (ustedes) in contemporary Spanish and is not used for singular tú or usted forms.
