How to Say "i implore" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “i implore” is “suplico” — B1 level.
Examples
Te suplico que me escuches, es la última vez que lo pido.
I beg you to listen to me; this is the last time I ask.

Verbs Ending in -car
The verb 'suplicar' (to beg) must maintain its hard 'k' sound. When the ending starts with 'e' (like in the preterite 'yo' form or the whole present subjunctive), the 'c' changes to 'qu'. This is a very common pattern for all -car verbs!
Stronger than 'Pedir'
Use 'suplico' when you are making a request under extreme emotional distress or formality. It shows desperation, whereas 'pido' is just a normal request.
Confusing Formality
Mistake: “Suplico un vaso de agua. (I beg for a glass of water.)”
Correction: Pido un vaso de agua. ('Suplico' is too intense for a simple request like water, unless you are dying of thirst in the desert!)
