Proyectabais

Proyectabais is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb proyectar. It is used with the vosotros/vosotras subject and is characteristic of Spain and contexts where the vos forms are common. The imperfect tense expresses a past action that was ongoing, habitual, or incomplete, so proyectabais translates roughly as you were projecting, you used to project, or you all projected, depending on the context.

In practical use, proyectabais can refer to physically projecting images or film (as with a projector) or to planning, forecasting, or outlining ahead of time. For example, you might say, "Cuando llegasteis, ya proyectabais la presentación para la reunión," meaning you were already projecting the presentation. Another sense could be "proyectar un presupuesto," to plan or forecast a budget, as in "Proyectabais un presupuesto para el trimestre." The exact meaning is determined by the surrounding words and the intended sense of projection.

Regional note: in many Spanish-speaking regions outside Spain, the vos form is not standard, and the corresponding past tense would typically be formed with ustedes or with other conjugations, e.g., "proyectaban." Proyectabais remains a hallmark of the vosotros form and is most common in Spain and literary or formal written Spanish that preserves the traditional vos conjugation.
