Compráis

Compráis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb comprar in the present indicative. It means “you all buy” and is used with the informal plural subject vosotros, a form common in Spain. In many Spanish-speaking regions that do not use vosotros, the corresponding present indicative is expressed with ustedes: “ustedes compran.”

Conjugation pattern: comprar is a regular -ar verb. In the present indicative the forms are: compro, compras, compra, compramos, compráis, compran. The vosotros form, compráis, ends with -áis and carries an accent on the í, signaling the word stress before the final -s.

Usage notes: Compráis appears in contexts where the vosotros form is standard, such as informal plural subjects in Spain. In Latin American Spanish, speakers typically say "ustedes compran" instead. The present progressive form for indicating an action in progress is different: “estáis comprando” means “you all are buying.”

Examples: Vosotros compráis pan y otros productos en la tienda cada semana. ¿Cuándo compráis los billetes para el viaje? For ongoing action, you would say: “Vosotros estáis comprando” or “estáis comprando” followed by the gerund.

Related forms: The other present indicative forms of comprar are: yo compro, tú compras, él compra, nosotros compramos, vosotros compráis, ellos compran. Compráis, therefore, is part of the standard pattern for regular -ar verbs in the vosotros paradigm.
