revelan

Revelan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb revelar, meaning to reveal or to uncover. It is used when the subject is “they” or the formal plural “you” in many dialects (as in ustedes revelan). As a transitive verb, revelan requires a direct object, referring to information, facts, secrets, or other content that is disclosed.

Etymology: Revelar comes from Latin revelāre, meaning to uncover or disclose. The form revelan follows regular -ar verb conjugation patterns in the present tense.

Usage: Revelan is common in journalism, science, law, and everyday speech to indicate that something previously hidden or unknown is being made public. It can carry neutral or formal connotations, depending on context. The term often appears with nouns like “datos,” “pruebas,” “resultados,” or “secretos.” A synonymous verb in some contexts is descubrir, though revelar emphasizes the act of disclosure rather than the discovery itself.

Conjugation note: Revelar is a regular -ar verb. Key present tense forms include: yo revelo, tú revelas, él revela, nosotros revelamos, vosotros reveláis, ellos revelan. The corresponding past participle is revelado, used with haber to form compound tenses (ha revelado, habían revelado).

Examples: “Las autoridades revelan los nombres de los responsables.” “Los investigadores revelan nuevos datos en su informe.” “Ellas revelan la verdad ante la comisión.” These sentences illustrate revelan as a straightforward, informational disclosure.
