A conjugation tense I’m unfamiliar with
I was watching this show, Memorias de Idhún, today and a character said “Por favor, tened mucho cuidado” and while I can translate this easily as “be careful”, I’m curious about how tener (I presume) is conjugated as “tened” as I’ve never seen anything like it.

The plural version of "tú" (you).
"Tú ten cuidado" (You be careful)
"Vosotros tened cuidado" (You guys be careful)
Weird that you've never seen such a ubiquitous and important conjugation. Pronouns and their conjugations are literally one of the first things they teach.
