Atendéis

Atendéis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb atender. It means you all attend to, take care of, or deal with something or someone, and is used with the pronoun vosotros.

In usage, atender can mean to attend to a person (serve, assist), to attend to a matter (handle, manage), or to pay attention to something. Examples commonly found in Spain include: “Vosotros atendéis a los clientes con paciencia.” or “Sois los que atendéis las llamadas.” In contexts where the pronoun vosotros is not used, such as most of Latin America, the corresponding form is “atienden” with ustedes: “Ustedes atienden a los clientes.”

Spelling and pronunciation notes: atendéis carries a written accent on the é to indicate the stress on the last syllable, following Spanish stress rules for words ending in -s. The present subjunctive corresponding to the same subject is “atendáis.”

Etymology and related forms: atender comes from a Latin source (attendere, “to stretch toward” or “to direct attention to”). Related words include atención (attention) and atento (attentive). The form atendéis is part of a broader verb conjugation pattern in the present indicative for vosotros.
