Retáis
Retáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verbretar, meaning to challenge or to dare someone to do something. It is used with vosotros, the informal plural “you” form common in Spain. In most of Latin America, where the vosotros form is not used, the corresponding forms are usted/ustedes constructions (for present tense: ustedes retan). In regions with voseo, the vos form would be retás instead of retáis.
