Regalas

Regalas is the second‑person singular (tú) present indicative form of the Spanish verb regalar, which means “to give as a gift” or “to present something voluntarily”. In this conjugation, the subject is an informal singular “you”, and the verb conveys an action of gifting that is occurring in the present or a habitual practice. The full present tense conjugation of regalar is: yo regalo, tú regalas, él/ella/usted regala, nosotros/nosotras regalamos, vosotros/vosotras regaláis, ellos/ellas/ustedes regalan.

The form regalas is used in everyday conversation, written correspondence, and media when addressing a familiar interlocutor. Example sentences include: “¿Qué regalas en tu cumpleaños?” (What do you give as a gift on your birthday?) and “Siempre regalas algo especial a tus amigos” (You always give something special to your friends). The verb can also appear in reflexive constructions, such as “te regalas” (you treat yourself), though the reflexive pronoun changes the nuance of the action.

In terms of etymology, regalar derives from the Latin regulare (“to regulate, to arrange”), which evolved in the Romance languages to denote the act of presenting a present. The form regalas conforms to the regular –ar verb pattern in Spanish, where the ending –as marks the second‑person singular present indicative.

Regalas may also appear in regional variations of Spanish where the pronoun “vos” is used; in those dialects the corresponding form is “regalás”. Nevertheless, in standard Peninsular and Latin American Spanish, regalas remains the conventional second‑person singular present form for the verb regalar.
