estableixo

Estableixo is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Catalan verb establir, meaning “I establish” or “I set up.” This form is used to express that the speaker is currently establishing something, such as norms, policies, or institutions.

Etymology and cognates: The verb establir derives from Latin stabilire. It has cognates in other Romance tongues, including Spanish establecer, Portuguese estabelecer, and French établir, reflecting a common Latin root related to stability and fixation.

Usage: Establir is employed in both everyday and formal contexts to describe creation, founding, or formalization of rules, agreements, or structures. For example, L’Ajuntament estableix un nou protocol per a la gestió del residu (the city council establishes a new waste-management protocol). The verb is considered irregular in its present tense, and its other forms follow irregular patterns (e.g., estableixes, estableix, establim, estableu, estableixen).

Grammar notes: The infinitive is establir; the present participle is establint; the past participle is establert. The first-person singular form shown here, estableixo, is one of several present-tense forms that illustrate the verb’s irregular conjugation. Other forms include estableixes (you establish), estableix (he/she establishes), i estabilim or estableu depending on the dialect and standard usage.
