edifican

Edifican is a Spanish verb form that functions as the third-person plural present indicative of edificar. It means “they build” and is used with subjects such as ellos, ellas, or ustedes. The corresponding infinitive is edificar, and the present tense forms follow standard -ar verb conjugation patterns, with the 1st person singular edIfico and the 2nd person plural edificaís, for example.

Etymology and related forms: edificar comes from Latin aedificare, from aedes (building, house) and facere (to make). Related terms include edificación (the act of building or the building itself), edificador (builder), and edificado (built or edified). The word edificación is often used in architectural, construction, and urban-planning contexts.

Usage: Edifican appears primarily in discussions of construction, architecture, and development, but can also be used metaphorically to indicate the creation or shaping of non-physical things, such as institutions or futures. Examples include literal buildings and figurative statements about progress or reform.

Examples:

- Las empresas edifican viviendas para la ciudad.

- Las autoridades edifican un futuro más sostenible a través de inversiones en transporte y vivienda.
