Final answer:

The verb 'mentir' in Spanish changes to 'mintamos' in the subjunctive (nosotros) form. It's a stem-changing verb where the stem changes from 'e' to 'i', but in nosotros and vosotros forms, it remains 'e.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The verb mentir is a stem-changing verb in Spanish. In the present subjunctive form, the nosotros form is 'mintamos'. The stem of the verb changes from 'e' to 'i' except in nosotros and vosotros forms. So, in the nosotros form, the verb mentir keeps its root as 'ment-' and the ending becomes '-amos' which is specific to the present subjunctive nosotros form of -ir verbs. Therefore, 'mentir' becomes 'mintamos' in the subjunctive (nosotros) form.
