mueva

Mueva is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb mover. It functions as the present subjunctive form for the first- and third-person singular (yo mueva, él/ella/usted mueva) and as the formal imperative form for the second-person singular (usted) in the present tense. The form shares its spelling with both moods, depending on the sentence context.

In usage, mueva appears in clauses that express desire, doubt, possibility, necessity, or hypothetical situations. For example, in a subjunctive sentence such as “Es posible que yo mueva la mesa,” or “Espero que él mueva el objeto,” the verb conveys actions that are not asserted as facts. As a formal command, mueva is used when addressing a single person with the formal “usted,” as in “Mueva usted esa caja, por favor.”

Morphologically, mover is a stem-changing verb, where the stem changes from mov- to muev- in the present subjunctive forms. The endings attach to the stem, giving yo mueva and él/ella/usted mueva in the present subjunctive. This same form is also the imperative for usted: mueva, used to issue a courteous instruction.

Translations of mueva depend on the mood and person: in subjunctive contexts it can translate to “move (I/you/he)…” under a hypothetical or desired frame, while as an imperative it translates to the polite “Move (you),” directed to a single, formal interlocutor. The term is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry.
