ingresan

Ingresan is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb ingresar. It corresponds to the third-person plural present indicative, meaning in English "they enter" or "they enroll." The form is widely used across Spanish-speaking regions to describe actions involving entering a place, joining an institution, or starting a process that requires admission.

Examples include: "Los estudiantes ingresan a la universidad este año" (The students enter/enroll in the university this year) and "Los trabajadores ingresan al edificio" (The workers enter the building). In formal contexts, "ingresar" can also mean to admit someone to a hospital, a school, or an organization, where passive forms are often used (son ingresados/son ingresadas).

Etymology and related forms: Ingresar derives from Latin origins related to the idea of going in. The noun "ingreso" is related and has multiple senses, including entry or admission and, in economics, income or revenue. The verb is part of a family of words built from the prefix in- plus a root associated with movement or stepping.

Usage notes: In everyday speech, regional preferences may favor verbs like "entrar" for simply entering a place, while "ingresar" carries nuance of formal entry, admission, or enrollment. The present tense form "ingresan" is common in narrative or factual reporting when referring to multiple subjects performing the action of entering or enrolling.
