Consultasteis

Consultasteis is the second-person plural preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb "consultar." The verb "consultar" means to consult, to ask for advice, or to look up information. Therefore, "consultasteis" translates to "you all consulted," "you all asked for advice," or "you all looked up." This verb form is used when referring to a past action performed by a group of people being addressed directly in the informal plural (vosotros/vosotras) in Spain. In most Latin American countries, the equivalent plural form for addressing groups informally would be "ustedes consultaron." The preterite tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. An example of its usage might be: "Vosotros consultasteis el mapa antes de empezar el viaje," meaning "You all consulted the map before starting the trip." The specific context would determine the precise nuance of "consultar," but generally, it implies seeking information or guidance from a source or person. The form "consultasteis" is distinctly Spanish and less common in regions where the "ustedes" form is used for both formal and informal plural address.
