sugiera

Sugiera is a conjugated form of the Spanish verb sugerir. It is most commonly the present subjunctive form for the third person singular (él/ella/usted) and, in some contexts, the formal imperative for usted. It can also correspond to the first-person singular present subjunctive form, yo sugiera, though this usage is less frequent in everyday speech.

Conjugation details: the verb sugerir is a stem-changing -ir verb. In the present subjunctive, the forms are: yo sugiera, tú sugieras, él/ella/usted sugiera, nosotros sugiramos, vosotros sugiráis, ellos/ellas/ustedes sugieran. The form sugiera specifically appears in the third person singular and in the formal singular imperative, as in “Sugiera usted una solución” (Please, you propose a solution).

Usage: sugiera is used in subordinate clauses after verbs of desire, doubt, necessity, suggestion, or emotion, typically following gracias a que or que clauses. It signals uncertainty, possibility, or a recommendation rather than a definite statement. Examples: “Espero que él sugiera una opción.” “Es importante que sugiera una alternativa.” As an imperative for usted, it functions as a polite command: “Sugiera usted una propuesta.”

Etymology and related forms: sugiera derives from the verb sugerir, itself from Latin suggerere. Related forms include sugiera, sugieras, sugiera, sugiramos, sugiráis, sugieran, covering the present subjunctive endings across persons.

Regional notes: present subjunctive use is widespread in both Spain and Latin America, though frequency of subjunctive mood tends to vary with regional speech patterns.
