Decaíais

Decaíais is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb decaer. The verb decaer means to decline, decay, weaken, or fall. Therefore, "decaíais" translates to "you all were declining," "you all were decaying," "you all were weakening," or "you all were falling," depending on the context.

This verb form is used to describe an ongoing or habitual action in the past. For instance, one might say "Las fuerzas decaíais" which means "Your strength was weakening" or "You all were losing strength." Another example could be "Los ánimos decaíais" meaning "Your spirits were declining." The imperfect tense is used to set a scene or describe a state of being in the past, rather than a completed action.

The subject of "decaíais" would be "vosotros" or "vosotras," the informal plural "you" in Spanish, primarily used in Spain. In Latin America, the equivalent form would typically be the third-person plural "ustedes" with the corresponding verb conjugation. Thus, "ustedes decaían" would be the more common construction in many Spanish-speaking regions for the same meaning. Understanding the distinction between "vosotros" and "ustedes" is crucial for accurate Spanish usage.
