prevaleces

Prevaleces is the second person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb prevalecer. It translates as "you prevail" and is used to indicate that the subject has or gains dominance, success, or predominance in a given situation. The form expresses a direct assertion about the subject's ability to overcome obstacles or outperform others.

The verb prevalecer comes from Latin praevalere, from prae- "before" and valere "to be strong or worth." In modern Spanish, prevalecer and its inflected forms describe ongoing dominance or advantage rather than a one-off victory.

Usage examples appear in sports, politics, or debates, where one might say "Tú prevaleces sobre tus rivales" to indicate you outperform them. In analytical or evaluative contexts, phrases like "La evidencia prevalece" show that the evidence supports a conclusion more strongly than competing interpretations. The form "prevaleces" is specific to addressing a particular subject with the pronoun you (tú).
