Recibís

Recibís is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb recibir in the voseo system of conjugation. It is used with the pronoun vos, instead of tú, in varieties of Spanish where voseo is customary. In these dialects, recibís translates to you receive in English and corresponds to the tú form recibes in dialects that do not use voseo.

The form is especially common in Rioplatense Spanish, spoken in Argentina and Uruguay, and is also used in some other regions that practice voseo. The spelling carries an acute accent on the í to indicate the stress on the last syllable: recibís. This orthography helps differentiate the vos form from other conjugations and aligns with the general pattern of vos endings for present tense in verbs of different conjugation classes.

Usage and context: the verb is typically employed in informal or familiar contexts when addressing a single person. The pronoun vos accompanies the verb, as in: ¿Recibís el correo cuando llega el cartero? Sí, ya lo recibís. In regions that do not practice voseo, the equivalent form for tú is recibes, not recibís. Some grammars and dictionaries document recibís as part of the standard voseo paradigm, alongside other present-tense forms like vivís or trabajás, depending on the region.
