Adornasteis

Adornasteis is the second-person plural preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb adornar, meaning to decorate or embellish. It is used in Spain when addressing a group as vosotros and marks a completed action in the past.

Conjugation and usage: adornar in the preterite reads as yo adorné, tú adornaste, él adornó, nosotros adornamos, vosotros adornasteis, ellos adornaron. The form adornasteis specifically corresponds to “you all adorned” in the past. It is commonly used in narrative or descriptive sentences about past events involving multiple people. For example: Ayer adornasteis la casa para la fiesta; celebraron que todo quedara bien para la recepción.

Regional variation: in Latin America, the vos form is rarely used and vosotros forms are typically replaced by ustedes. Consequently, the corresponding past tense for ustedes is adornaron, not adornasteis. In regions where vosotros is standard, adornasteis remains the correct past tense for addressing a group informally.

Etymology and related forms: adornar comes from Latin adornare, formed from ad- (toward, to) and ornare (to equip, decorate). Adornasteis is the preterite vosotros form, and its related forms include adorné, adornaste, adornó, adornamos, adornaron, as well as the infinitive adornar and the past participle adornado.
