Determinasteis

Determinasteis is the second-person plural preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb determinar, meaning you all determined. It is used with the pronoun vosotros, which is common in Spain and in some regional varieties, to describe a completed action in the past.

Morphology and usage are straightforward for regular -ar verbs. The stem is determin-, and the preterite ending for vosotros is -asteis, yielding determinasteis. The form conveys that a group of people identified or established something at a specific past moment. In regions that do not use the vosotros form, such as most of Latin America, the corresponding past tense for ustedes is determinaron.

In terms of meaning, determinasteis can refer to deciding, establishing, or clarifying something based on investigation or discussion. It often appears in narrative or formal writing where a group’s past decision or conclusion is being reported.

Examples:

- Determinasteis las causas del problema después de revisar los registros.

- Ayer determinasteis las fechas de entrega para el proyecto.

- En la reunión, determinasteis los criterios para la selección de candidatos.

Limitations: as a vosotros form, determinasteis is primarily found in peninsular Spanish and other contexts that preserve the vos form. In most Latin American usage, a corresponding past tense for ustedes would not use determinasteis. Overall, determinate as a verb is regular in its conjugation, with determinasteis representing a standard, regional past tense form.
