exhibeix

Exhibeix is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Catalan verb exhibir, meaning to display, show publicly, or present something to an audience. It is used to describe actions by museums, galleries, companies, events, or individuals that bring objects, artworks, information, or performances into public view. For example, La galeria exhibeix una nova exposició, or L’empresa exhibeix els seus productes a la fira.

Etymology and derivation: exhibir comes from Latin exhibere, meaning to bring forth or expose, and entered Catalan through medieval and later stages of Romance language development. The noun exhibició (exhibition) shares the same root.

Conjugation notes: exhibir is a regular -ir verb with a characteristic present-indicative paradigm in which the 3rd person singular form is exhibeix. The full present indicative for this verb is jo exhibeixo, tu exhibeixes, ell exhibeix, nosaltres exhibim, vosaltres exhibeixeu, ells exhibeixen. The form exibits may appear in some dialectal spellings or older texts, but exhibeix is standard in contemporary Catalan.

Usage and related terms: exhibir is commonly used in contexts of art, culture, trade shows, and public presentations. Related words include exhibició (exhibition), exhibidor/exhibidora (exhibitor), and exhibició temporal (temporary display). The verb can pair with direct objects like objectes, obres, dades, or nous productes to indicate what is being shown.
