Desenrollasteis

Desenrollasteis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb desenrollar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It corresponds to “you all unrolled” or “you all unfurled” and is used when addressing a group informally in Spain (vosotros). The verb can denote a literal action—unrolling a map, a scroll, or fabric—and, in a figurative sense, unrolling a sequence of events or a plan.

Desenrollar is formed from de- (undo) and enrollar (to roll up). It is a regular -ar verb in the preterite, with the standard endings: desenrollé, desenrollaste, desenrolló, desenrollamos, desenrollasteis, desenrollaron. The vosotros form is desenrollasteis, which carries the characteristic -asteis ending and the stress pattern typical of this conjugation.

Usage in different regions varies. In Spain, the vosotros form is standard in informal speech, so desenrollasteis appears frequently in dialogue written to reflect that region. In most of Latin America, ustedes desenrollaron is used instead of vosotros; therefore, the vosotros form may be found mainly in literary works, historical texts, or contexts that preserve the tú/vosotros distinction.

Example: Ayer desenrollasteis el mapa para ver la ruta y luego seguisteis las indicaciones. This illustrates the literal sense of unrolling a physical object, as well as the narrative use of describing what a group did in the past.
