Disfrutasteis

Disfrutasteis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb disfrutar in the pretérito indefinido (also called pretérito simple). It corresponds to the English “you all enjoyed” and is used in Spain with the pronoun vosotros. In Latin American varieties, the corresponding past tense for you all is typically ustedes disfrutaron, since the vosotros form is less common there.

Conjugation and form: Disfrutar is a regular -ar verb in the pretérito indefinido. The full paradigm is: yo disfruté, tú disfrutaste, él/ella/usted disfrutó, nosotros disfrutamos, vosotros disfrutasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes disfrutaron. The vosotros form, disfrutasteis in some dialects, is uncommon; the standard is disfrutasteis. The accent pattern follows regular -ar endings in this tense.

Usage and nuance: Disfrutasteis describes a completed action in the past in which the group referred to by vosotros took pleasure in something. It implies that the enjoyment occurred at a definite time or during a definite event. It is used in narrative or descriptive past contexts, often with expressions of time like ayer, hace dos días, durante la fiesta, etc.

Regional context: The vosotros form is characteristic of Spain and other areas that use the vosotros pronoun. In most of Latin America, the same meaning is conveyed with ustedes disfrutaron, with the same pretérito indefinido meaning. Disfrutasteis remains a standard form in Spanish literature and formal writing to denote plural “you” in the past within dialects that employ vosotros.
