Celebráis

Celebráis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb celebrar, used with the pronoun vosotros. It means “you (plural, informal) celebrate” and is typical of Peninsular Spanish, particularly in Spain, where vosotros is common in informal speech. In Latin America, where the vosotros form is generally not used, the corresponding form is ustedes celebran.

Conjugation and related forms: celebrar is a regular -ar verb. In the present indicative, the forms are: yo celebro, tú celebras, él/ella celebra, nosotros celebramos, vosotros celebráis, ellos celebran. The accent in celebráis marks the stress on the last syllable. The present subjunctive form for vosotros is celebréis, and the gerund is celebrando. Other tenses follow standard -ar verb conjugation patterns.

Usage notes: celebráis is used to talk about celebrating events, achievements, or occasions by a group addressed informally as vosotros. It appears in everyday conversation, instructions, or written text intended for a audience that uses vosotros. In regions where the vosotros form is not customary, ustedes celebran serves the same communicative function.

Etymology: the verb celebrar comes from Latin celebrare, meaning to honor, celebrate, or perform with ceremony. The form celebráis inherits this meaning and carries it into the second-person plural present tense.

Examples: Celebráis la Navidad con la familia. ¿Celebráis ese logro juntos? Hoy celebráis el aniversario de la empresa. See also: celebrar, celebración.
