Inscribáis

Inscribáis is a verb form in Spanish. It is the second-person plural present subjunctive of inscribir, and, in its reflexive use with the verb inscribirse, the corresponding form is os inscribáis. As a subjunctive form, it appears in dependent clauses that express doubt, desire, necessity, possibility, or hypothetical situations.

Etymology and morphology: inscribes from the Latin inscribere, meaning to write into or enroll. In the present subjunctive, the vosotros endings follow the pattern of inscribáis, with the accent on the í to indicate the proper stress. The non-reflexive and reflexive verb share the same stem and ending; the reflexive variant simply adds the pronoun os: os inscribáis.

Usage: inscribáis is used primarily in subordinate clauses introduced by verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive, such as esperar, desear, ser necesario, dudar, or ojalá. When the action refers to enrolling oneself, the reflexive form os inscribáis is common: Es necesario que os inscribáis en el curso. If the action is transitive (enrolling someone or something), the form can appear without the reflexive pronoun: Es posible que inscribáis a varios estudiantes.

Examples:

- Es posible que os inscribáis en el curso antes de la fecha límite.

- Quiero que os inscribáis en la lista de participantes.

- La normativa exige que inscribáis a los alumnos antes de iniciar la clase.
