Recurrís

Recurrís is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb recurrir, used in dialects that employ the voseo, most notably in Rioplatense Spanish. It expresses the action of resorting to or turning to something as a resource or remedy in the present tense. In standard tú form the equivalent would be recurres.

Etymology and usage notes: recurrir comes from Latin recurrere, meaning to run back or to return to a source. In voseo varieties, verbs of the -ir conjugation commonly take an ending -ís for the present indicative, with stress marked on the final syllable, hence recurrís. This form is characteristic of informal address in regions that practice voseo, such as Argentina and Uruguay, and is also found in parts of Paraguay, Central America, and some communities in Chile and Colombia. In formal or non-voseo Spanish, the corresponding forms are tú recurres (present) or usted recurre.

Grammatical context: Recurrís coexists with other tense forms of recurrir in the same dialect, where the vos form follows the same stem as the tú form but with distinct endings. When writing in contexts that avoid voseo, speakers typically use recurrís substitutes like recurres or usted recurre, depending on the level of formality. The form is primarily oral, but appears in literature and media that depict speakers from voseo-speaking communities.

Examples: Recurrís a amigo si necesitas ayuda. Si no hay solución, recurrís a tus ahorros. Recurrir is the infinitive form, and recurres is the tú equivalent in most other dialects.
