Confundís

Confundís is a Spanish verb form that appears as the present indicative second-person form of confundir in dialects that use voseo or as the second-person plural form in Spain (vosotros). In English it corresponds to “you confuse” or, depending on context, “you all confuse.” The form is used with different subject pronouns depending on the variety of Spanish being spoken.

Etymology and meaning: Confundís derives from the verb confundir, from Latin confundere, meaning to pour together, mix, or blend. In modern usage confundir means to confuse, mix up, or mistake, and it can take a direct object (confundir a alguien) or be used reflexively (confundirse) to express getting confused oneself.

Conjugation and regional use: The root speech form confundís is associated with the present tense. In Spain, the corresponding form is confundís for vosotros. In regions that use voseo, confundís is the second-person singular present to be used with vos. The standard Latin American equivalent for “you confuse” with ustedes is confunden, while tú confundes corresponds to the tú form. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable in this ending.

Usage notes: Confundís is typically employed to describe the act of confusing people, objects, or ideas, or to indicate a mistaken understanding. It can appear in statements like “Vos confundís las fechas” or “Vosotros confundís las direcciones.” The reflexive form confundirse means to become confused, as in “Me confundí con las instrucciones.”
