évoquiez

Évoquiez is a verb form in French, derived from the verb évoquer, and is not a standalone lexical item. It is the second person plural form that appears in two different grammatical contexts, reflecting how French verbs can share spellings across moods and tenses.

Specifically, évoquiez can correspond to two distinct forms with the same spelling. It is the imperfect indicative form for you plural: vous évoquiez (you were evoking / you used to evoke). It is also the present subjunctive form for you plural: que vous évoquiez (that you evoke). The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding clause and mood.

The verb évoquer means to call to mind, to evoke, to bring up, or to mention. It is a regular -er verb, with a stem évoc- and standard endings. In the imperfect indicative, the endings are -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient; in the present subjunctive, the endings are -e, -es, -e, -ions, -iez, -ent. Thus, the form évoquiez follows these general patterns.

Usage notes: Because évoquiez can be either vous évoquiez (imperfect indicative) or que vous évoquiez (present subjunctive), its meaning and function vary with context. It appears in narrative past contexts in everyday French, and in subordinate clauses after expressions that trigger the subjunctive, such as after certain verbs of desire, doubt, or necessity. Etymologically, évoquer traces to Latin evocare, meaning to call forth or summon.
