exigís

Exigís is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb exigir in the voseo commonly used in Rioplatense Spanish. It means "you demand" or "you require" and is used in Argentina, Uruguay, and parts of Paraguay where the voseo form predominates.

Origins and morphology: Exigir comes from Latin exigere, meaning to demand or require. In the voseo paradigm, the present indicative forms include exijo, exiges, exige, exigimos, exigís, exigen, with exigís replacing exiges for the second-person singular. The rest of the present conjugation follows the standard exigir paradigm.

Usage: Exigís signals informal address and is characteristic of the Rioplatense region. In dialects without voseo, the tú form exiges is used instead. The spelling with an acute accent on í marks the stressed syllable, distinguishing exigís from exiges in print.

Examples: Exigís demasiado de tus amigos a veces. Para aprobar, exigís una explicación clara. En el discurso formal, se prefiere usar usted o ustedes y las formas correspondientes del verbo exigir.
