monitorean

Monitorean is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb monitorear, meaning “they monitor.” The verb monitorear is used to describe observing, checking, or recording the status of a person, process, system, or environment. It is derived from the English noun monitor and is commonly employed in technical, scientific, and everyday contexts across Spanish-speaking regions.

Conjugation and forms: The full present tense of monitorear includes yo monitoreo, tú monitoreas, él monitorea, nosotros monitoreamos, vosotros monitoreáis, ellos monitorean. The form monitorean specifically indicates that multiple subjects are performing the action in the present time. The noun monitoreo refers to the act or process of monitoring, while related verbs such as monitorizar are used in some dialects to express a similar idea.

Usage and context: Monitorean appears in news reports, academic writing, industry documentation, and service or process dashboards to indicate ongoing observation. Examples include: “Los técnicos monitorean las condiciones de la planta,” and “Las autoridades monitorean el progreso de las obras.” The term is versatile, applicable to environmental monitoring, health surveillance, IT and network monitoring, quality control, and research.

Regional and stylistic notes: Some Spanish-speaking regions prefer monitorizar as an alternative spelling, especially in Spain, while monitorear is widely understood in Latin America. Monitorear remains the more common form in many international contexts, but both variants convey the same core meaning of ongoing observation and data collection. See also monitoreo, the noun form.
