Établissiez

Établissiez is a French verb form derived from établir, meaning to establish or set up. It is the second-person plural form used in the present subjunctive mood, commonly written as que vous établissiez. This form appears in subordinate clauses that express necessity, doubt, desire, possibility, or emotion, often after expressions such as il faut que, il est important que, or bien que.

Morphology and usage: The verb appartient to the group of -ir verbs that form the present subjunctive with the stem établi- plus the standard subjunctive endings. In practical terms, établissiez is used when addressing multiple subjects in a hypothetical or desired scenario, especially in formal or literary contexts. It is not used in ordinary declarative sentences, which would employ the indicative mood (vous établissez) or the conditional after different constructions. The form can also appear in constructions of time or concession where the subjunctive mood is required.

Etymology: Établir, from Old French establir, traces to Latin stabilire, meaning to make stable or to confirm. The sense of creating a foundation or framework underlies both the verb and its subjunctive forms, including établissiez.

Examples: Il faut que vous établissiez un calendrier pour le projet. Bien que vous établissiez des règles, il reste des incertitudes. Si vous établissiez des critères clairs, le processus serait plus transparent. See also: établir, établissement, établissement.
