Comparáis

Comparáis is a Spanish verb form. Specifically, it is the second-person plural, present indicative conjugation of the verb comparar. The verb comparar means "to compare." Therefore, "comparáis" translates to "you all compare" or "you compare" when addressing a group of people informally in Spain.

For instance, in a sentence like "Vosotros comparáis los precios de diferentes tiendas" (You all compare the prices of different stores), comparáis is used to indicate the action of comparing performed by the group being addressed. This form is characteristic of the informal plural "vosotros" used in Peninsular Spanish. In Latin America, where the informal plural is typically "ustedes," the equivalent form would be "comparan." The verb comparar itself is derived from the Latin word comparare, meaning to match or to make equal. Understanding this verb form is essential for comprehending spoken and written Spanish, particularly in its European dialect.
