manifiestan

Manifiestan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb manifestar, meaning to express, reveal, or demonstrate a sentiment, opinion, or intention. The principal form is manifestar, with manfiestar as a less common variant in some dialects. The full present-tense conjugation for manifestar includes: manifiesto, manifiestas, manifiesta, manifestamos, manifestáis, manifiestan.

Etymology and related forms: manifestar derives from the Latin manifestus, meaning open or evident, and has given rise to related nouns such as manifiesto (manifest or manifesto) and manifestación (demonstration or protest). The term manifiestan is a regular ending for the third-person plural in this verb class and is used across diverse Spanish-speaking regions.

Usage and context: manifiestan is used to indicate that a group or individuals express or demonstrate something publicly—an opinion, feeling, or intention, or a demonstration of support or opposition. It appears in journalistic reporting, political discourse, and everyday speech. Nuances depend on context: it can be neutral (to express) or carry evaluative or emphatic tones when detailing the strength or nature of the expression.

Examples: "Los ciudadanos manifiestan su preocupación por la política educativa." "La empresa manifiesta su compromiso con la sostenibilidad." In both cases, the action is outwardly displayed or declared by subjects.
