[Spanish dictionary]: Imperative form of many verbs are missing.

[martinprad0]

The dictionary is missing the words:

"Encontrar" (find):

• "encuéntrela (feminine) / encuéntrelo (masculine) /encuéntrelos (plural)": Imperative form conjugation for "usted" (singular second person, formal)
• "encuéntrala (feminine) /encuéntralo (masculine) / encuéntralos (plural)": Imperative form conjugation for "tu" (singular second person, informal)
• "encuéntrenla (feminine) /encuéntrenlo (masculine) /encuéntrenlos (plural)": Imperative form conjugation for "ustedes" (plural second person)

The same happens for the verbs:

• "Cocinar" (cook)
• "Jugar" (play)
• "Trabajar" (work)
• "Arreglar" (fix)
• "Ensuciar" (get dirty)

However, many verbs do have their imperative forms. For example,

• "Buscar" (search)
• "Imaginar" (imagine)
• "Seguir" (follow)

@martinprad0,

Thank you. I'll check to see what is happening.

@martinprad0,

These seem to be rare usages of the words. I checked a couple of Hunspell dictionaries and was unable to find encuéntrela. Even https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/encu%C3%A9ntrela doesn't list it under the conjugations of encontrar. It is clearly a form of encontrar, but doesn't seem to be common enough to be included in the Hunspell dictionaries I found.

Do you have a list of these words? Please add them to dictionaries/es_ES/src/additional_words.txt.

Sure, I can find and post that list after I finish some work.

As an additional note, the usage of this imperative form is mostly found on exams and exercise statements. For example, if you have a system of equations and you want to say:

"Does the system of equations have a solution? If that's the case, find it."

For the last phrase, the translation should be:

"Si este es el caso, encuéntrela"

Sure, you could say:

"Si este es el caso, encuentre la solución"

But it is equivalent to saying

"If that's the case, find the solution"

It is clear that "it" is the solution you want to find. Thus, it's in some way redundant.
