Pospongáis

Pospongáis is the second-person plural form of the present subjunctive of the Spanish verb posponer, meaning to postpone or delay. It is used in clauses that require the subjunctive mood and is specifically applicable in contexts where the subject is “vosotros” (you all).

Usage and regional notes: pospongáis appears in Spain and in communities that use the vosotros form. In most of Latin America, where the vosotros form is not standard, the corresponding usted/ustedes forms (pospongan) are used instead in the subjunctive. Examples: Es posible que vosotros pospongáis la reunión. Espero que vosotros pospongáis la fecha para la próxima semana.

Etymology: posponer is formed from pos- (a prefix related to placing after) combined with poner (to put). The verb ultimately derives from Latin postponere, meaning to put after or delay, and it evolved into the Spanish form posponer.

Conjugation notes: In the present subjunctive, the full set for posponer is: yo posponga, tú pospongas, él posponga, nosotros pospongamos, vosotros pospongáis, ellos pospongan. The imperative form for vosotros is posponed in affirmative commands, and no pospongáis in negative commands. As a subjunctive form, pospongáis typically appears after triggering verbs and conjunctions such as que, para que, or quizás que.
