envíe

Envíe is a Spanish verb form derived from enviar, meaning to send. It functions as the present subjunctive form for the first- and third-person singular (yo envíe, él/ella/Ud. envíe), and as the polite imperative for the second-person formal with Usted. In practical use, envíe appears most often in formal requests or instructions directed to one person or to a group addressed with Usted.

Enviar is an -ar verb, and its present subjunctive forms are envíe, envíes, envíe, enviemos, enviéis, envíen. The forms envíe and envíen carry an acute accent on the í to indicate the correct stress, and the second-person plural form enviéis also carries an accent. The nosotros form enviemos and the vosotros form enviéis follow the subjunctive pattern for -ar verbs, with spelling that supports the expected pronunciation.

Usage notes: envíe appears in contexts requiring doubt, desire, emotion, necessity, or hypothetical statements, typically in subordinate clauses introduced by phrases like espero que or es posible que. When used as a formal command, Envíe is directed to Usted to request or require someone to send something, as in Envíe el informe hoy. In informal speech, the corresponding form for tú is envía (present indicative) or envías (present indicative), not envíe.

Etymology: enviar descends from Latin inviare, via Latin for sending along a road or path, with the Spanish prefix en- and the root via related to a journey or route.
