Podeu

Podeu is a Catalan verb form representing the present indicative for the second-person plural. It translates to "you can" or "you are able to" in English and is used with the subject vosaltres. In ordinary speech and writing, podeu often appears without an explicit subject when the "you all" reference is clear from context.

Poder is the verb meaning "to be able to" and comes from Latin posse. In Catalan, the present indicative forms are puc, pots, pot, podem, podeu, poden, with podeu corresponding to vosaltres (you all).

Usage notes: Podeu is used to express ability or permission, commonly followed by an infinitive. Examples include: Podeu estudiar a casa. Podeu venir demà? It can be negated: No podeu fumar aquí. The nuance is similar to English "you can" and varies with context between ability and permission.

Formality and regional variation: Podeu is the second-person plural form used with the informal vosaltres. For formal plural address, Catalan uses vostès and the corresponding verb form poden (as in Vostès poden...). In many contexts, the subject is omitted because the verb form itself signals the person and number.
