Limitáis

Limitáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb limitar, used primarily in Spain with the pronoun vosotros. It means “you limit” or “you are limiting.” In Latin American varieties, where the vosotros form is not used, the corresponding forms are limitan (for ustedes) or simply limitan in third person plural contexts.

The verb limitar comes from the Latin limare or limāre, related to the concept of marking a boundary or boundary-like restriction. In modern Spanish, limitar is a regular -ar verb, and limitáis follows the standard endings for this group in the present tense: yo limito, tú limitas, él/ella/usted limita, nosotros limitamos, vosotros limitáis, ellos limitan.

Usage notes include the distinction between vosotros forms (limitáis) and the ustedes form (limitan) in regions that use ustedes for the second person plural. Limitáis is commonly employed in contexts involving constraints, boundaries, or restrictions, whether physical, legal, or figurative. It can refer to limiting options, resources, liberties, or access.

Example sentences:

- Limitáis el acceso a la zona solo a personal autorizado.

- Si limitáis las opciones, podríais perder oportunidades de negocio.
