Conferís

Conferís is the present indicative form used with the vosotros subject in Spanish. It corresponds to the second-person plural form of the verb conferir, meaning you all confer or you all grant, depending on context. The form is primarily heard in Peninsular Spanish and in regions that maintain the vosotros paradigm.

Conferir is a Romance verb with two principal meanings in Spanish. One sense is to confer or grant something, such as a prize, degree, or title. The other sense is to confer with someone, meaning to consult or discuss with others before making a decision. The verb can be used in both formal and informal settings, though the vosotros form is typically found in Spain and some regional dialects.

Conjugation notes and regional usage: in the present indicative, the forms are yo confiero, tú confieres, él confiere, nosotros conferimos, vosotros conferís, ellos confieren. In most of Latin America, where the vosotros form is not common, the corresponding second-person plural is expressed with ustedes confieren. The accent on í in conferís marks the stressed syllable and follows standard stress rules for vosotros verbs.

Examples of usage: Confiás un premio a los ganadores? (Would you all confer a prize on the winners?) No standard Latin American dialects would typically use this form; instead, one would say “ustedes confieren un premio.” En España, es natural decir: “Conferís con el comité antes de decidir” or “Conferís el premio a los ganadores.” These forms illustrate how conferís functions across meanings of granting and consulting in appropriate regional contexts.
