inhibetis

Inhibetis is the second person plural present indicative active form of the Latin verb inhibēre, meaning to restrain, hinder, or inhibit. It is used to address multiple people and translates to "you restrain" or "you inhibit" in English. As a present tense form, it describes an action occurring in the current time and directed at the audience.

Etymology and morphology: The verb inhibēre comes from the prefix in- combined with the root hibēre (to hold or keep). Inhibetis is built from the stem inhibē- with the standard present-tense ending for the second person plural, -tis (often written as -ētis in classical spelling). Other present forms include inhibēs (you restrain, 2nd person singular), inhibet (he/she/it restrains), inhibēmus (we restrain), and inhibent (they restrain). The form belongs to the second conjugation of Latin verbs.

Usage: Inhibetis appears in classical and late Latin texts whenever a speaker addresses a group that is restraining, hindering, or preventing something. It expresses a current action by the listeners. Examples include sentences such as Hostēs inhibētis (you restrain the enemies) and Impetum inhibētis (you hinder the attack). As with other Latin verb forms, word order is flexible, and the subject is often implied by the ending.
