Permitís

Permitís is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb permitir, meaning to allow or to permit. It is used with the informal plural subject vosotros, the pronoun form common in Spain and in some regional varieties.

In the present indicative, the full paradigm is: yo permito, tú permites, él/ella permite, nosotros permitimos, vosotros permitís, ellos permiten. The form is often used with objects or clauses that express what is allowed, for example: “Vosotros permitís la entrada” or “¿Me permitís entrar?” It can also appear with pronouns: “Nosotros os permitís quedarnos” is less common due to pronoun placement, but constructions like “¿Me permitís usar esto?” are standard.

Regional usage varies: vosotros forms, including permitís, are characteristic of Spain. In most of Latin America, ustedes substitute for vosotros in everyday speech, so permitís is less common there, though understood in contexts where the vosotros form is used or taught.

Etymology and related forms: permitís derives from Latin permittere, meaning to let through or to allow, with the same root as permiso (permission). Related forms include permisos (nouns) and permit (as an English loanword in some contexts). The verb typically follows regular -ir conjugation patterns in the present, with the key distinction being the vosotros endings.
