Pertenecéis

Pertenecéis is the second-person plural (vosotros) present indicative form of the Spanish verb pertenecer. This verb translates to "to belong" in English. Therefore, "pertenecéis" specifically means "you all belong" or "you belong" when addressing a group of people informally in Spain.

The verb pertenecer is used to express ownership, membership, or a rightful place within a group, organization, or category. For example, someone might say "Vosotros pertenecéis a este club," meaning "You all belong to this club." It can also indicate a relationship or connection, such as "Estas ideas pertenecen a una época pasada," which translates to "These ideas belong to a past era."

In Spanish grammar, "vosotros" is the informal plural pronoun used in Spain. In Latin America, the informal plural is typically "ustedes," and the corresponding verb conjugation for "pertenecer" in that context would be "pertenecen." Therefore, "pertenecéis" is a distinct conjugation used primarily in Peninsular Spanish. The verb itself is regular in its conjugation pattern for the present indicative tense, following the typical endings for -er verbs. Understanding this conjugation is key to accurately expressing the concept of belonging when speaking to a group informally in Spain.
