tomen

Tomen is a term that appears most commonly as a Spanish verb form rather than a standalone noun. In everyday usage, it occurs as a conjugated form of the verb tomar, meaning “to take” or “to drink” depending on context.

In contemporary Spanish, tomen is the present subjunctive form for the third-person plural (ellos/ellas/ustedes) and is also used as the affirmative imperative for ustedes in commands. Its base is tomar, with the subjunctive ending -en applied to the stem tom-. The full present-subjunctive paradigm for tomar includes tome, tomes, tome, tomemos, toméis, tomen. Examples include “Es importante que tomen sus medicamentos” and the command “Tomen asiento.”

Outside of this grammatical use, “tomen” is not established as a separate concept in major languages. It may appear as part of personal names or place names in some local contexts, but such usage is not widely standardized in encyclopedic references.
