Recaísteis

Recaísteis is a Spanish verb form that belongs to the second person plural in the past tense, specifically the preterite tense, of the verb "recaer." In English, it translates to "you all fell back" or "you all relapsed," depending on the context.

The verb "recaer" means to fall back, relapse, or revert to a previous state, often used in medical, psychological, or technical contexts. For example, it can describe a patient experiencing a relapse in health, such as a disease returning after a period of improvement. It can also refer to a person returning to a problematic behavior or situation.

In conjugation, "recaísteis" is derived from the verb "recaer," which is irregular in the preterite tense. The standard preterite conjugation of "recaer" in the second person plural is: vosotros recaísteis. This form is used primarily in Spain, where "vosotros" is the familiar plural form of "you."

The usage of "recaísteis" appears predominantly in narrative or descriptive contexts where past events involving multiple subjects are discussed. Its application is common in medical reports, psychological assessments, or storytelling, providing a concise way to depict relapses or regressions experienced by groups of people.

Because "recaísteis" is specific to a past, completed action, it emphasizes the recurrence of a condition or behavior following a period of stability or improvement. As an uncommon verb outside clinical or narrative contexts, it remains primarily specialized in linguistic and cultural discussion surrounding the Spanish language.
