influyes

Influyes is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb influir, meaning you influence. It is used to indicate that the person being addressed has an effect on people, events, opinions, or outcomes.

Grammar and forms: Influir is an irregular verb in several tenses and includes a spelling change in the present tense. In the present indicative, the forms are: yo influyo, tú influyes, él/ella influye, nosotros influimos, vosotros influís, ellos influyen. The tú form influyes is commonly used in informal speech. Other tenses maintain the same root with corresponding endings (for example, preterite: influí, influiste, influyó, influimos, influisteis, influyeron).

Etymology: Influir comes from Latin influere, meaning “to flow into,” from in- “into” and fluere “to flow.” The noun influencia (influence) and the adjective influyente share the same origin.

Usage notes: Influyes appears in contexts where a person directly affects others or situations. It is often used in discussions about leadership, communication, marketing, or social dynamics. Compare with influencia or influir, which refer more broadly to influence as a concept or the action itself, while influyes specifies the second-person present action.

Examples:

- Tú influyes en la decisión del grupo con tu propuesta.

- La publicidad digital puede influir en el comportamiento del consumidor.

- Tu actitud influyes en el ambiente de trabajo.
