neutralices

Neutralices is a verb form in Spanish. It is the second-person singular present subjunctive of the verb neutralizar, meaning to neutralize. This form is used in subordinate clauses that express desire, doubt, necessity, possibility, emotion, or after certain conjunctions that require the subjunctive mood.

Examples include: Es posible que tú neutralices la solución antes de la prueba. Quiero que tú neutralices la sustancia para evitar reacciones. Dudo que tú neutralices todo el proceso si no recibes instrucciones. The form conveys mood rather than a straightforward action, a nuance typical of the Spanish subjunctive.

Formation and notes: The present subjunctive forms of neutralizar are: yo neutralice, tú neutralices, él/ella/Ud. neutralice, nosotros neutralicemos, vosotros neutralicéis, ellos/ellas/Uds. neutralicen. The ending -ices corresponds to the second-person singular form. The stem is neutralic-, reflecting a spelling change from -zar to -c before the front vowel to preserve pronunciation (neutralice). This form is standard in Spanish-language texts and is contrasted with the indicative form neutralizas (you neutralize) and other moods used with different grammatical contexts.
