What do they sell?
At the Otavalo handicraft market, they sell handicrafts.
Vender means “to sell”. Venden means “they sell” here.
It is the ellos / ellas / ustedes form.
With ustedes, it means “you sell” (plural).
Who are “they”?
We mean the people who sell things at the market.
We do not need to name them. We use venden to say what people sell in a shop or market.
Keep the pattern. Change two parts.
En la tienda de Camper venden zapatos.
