Sufrís

Sufrís is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb sufrir. It means “you all suffer” or “you all are suffering” and is used with the vosotrossubject in Spain and other dialects that retain this form. In varieties that use voseo, such as Rioplatense Spanish, the corresponding form with vos is sufrís. In dialects that use ustedes instead of vosotros, the equivalent present tense is sufren.

Sufrir is a regular -ir verb in the present tense. The standard present conjugation is: yo sufro, tú sufres, él/ella/Usted sufre, nosotros sufrimos, vosotros sufrís, ellos/ellas/Ustedes sufren. The accent on í in sufrís marks the stress on the final syllable, a common feature of this ending.

Etymology traces sufrír to Latin sub-ferre, meaning to bear under or endure, passing through Old Spanish into Modern Spanish. The form sufrís can describe physical, emotional, or figurative suffering, or ongoing hardship, as in discussions of pain, adversity, or difficult circumstances.

Usage notes: sufrís appears most prominently in Spain and in regions that maintain the vosotros form; in many Latin American dialects that use ustedes, the equivalent present tense is sufren. In voseo varieties, vos sufrís is common when addressing multiple people. The choice between forms reflects regional norms and levels of formality rather than a difference in core meaning.
