résolviez

Résolviez is a French verb form derived from résoudre, meaning to solve or to resolve. In standard modern French, résolviez can be either the present subjunctive form for the second person plural (que vous résolviez) or the imperfect indicative form for the same person (vous résolviez). The two forms are spelled identically in contemporary orthography, but they belong to different tenses and moods; context and syntax usually clarify which meaning is intended.

In the present-subjunctive reading, résolviez appears in subordinate clauses that express necessity, doubt, emotion, or possibility. For example: Il faut que vous résolviez ce problème. Je doute que vous résolviez ce problème. Here the action is uncertain, desired, or contingent.

In the imperfect-indicative reading, vous résolviez functions as a past-tense form used in narrative or descriptive past contexts to indicate ongoing or habitual action in the past. For example: Hier, vous résolviez ce problème rapidement. This usage is more common in formal or literary writing.

The form is closely related to other conjugations of résoudre, including résolvez (imperative), résolvent (present indicative they solve), and résolu (past participle). Etymologically, résoudre derives from Latin resolvere, meaning to loosen or undo, with the sense evolving to include solving or settling problems in French.
