Padeceis

Padeceis is a verb form found in certain Iberian Romance varieties. It denotes the second-person plural present indicative of the verb padecer, meaning to suffer, and would translate to "you all suffer" in English. The form is of dialectal or historical interest in many contexts, as standard modern Spanish typically uses padecéis for the second-person plural in Spain, while Latin American varieties often rely on ustedes with corresponding third-person forms (padecen). In Portuguese, the analogous form for second-person plural is padeceis, with different regional spellings, while Galician shows its own regional variations.

Morphology and orthography: padeceis can be described as stemming from padec- plus the second-person plural present suffix -eis in certain spellings. Accentuation and stress placement differ across languages, which is why related forms show different diacritical marks, such as padecéis in Spanish and padeceis in Portuguese, while padeceis appears in only some dialectal or historical texts.

Etymology and history: padecer derives from Latin pati- “to suffer.” The development of Iberian Romance conjugations produced a range of second-person plural forms, with padeceis arising as one regional or historical variant among others.

Usage notes: Because padeceis is not part of the standard modern varieties of the major languages, it is most often encountered in dialectological studies, historical grammars, or regional glossaries. It serves as an example of how verbal paradigms vary across dialects and over time.
