Vosotroshabláis

Vosotroshabláis is a coined term used in linguistic discussions and language-learning materials to denote the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb hablar when used with the pronoun vosotros. The conventional written form is vosotros habláis. The term does not appear in standard grammar guides; it functions as a convenient shorthand for illustrating subject–verb agreement in the vosotros paradigm, particularly for learners or descriptions of regional varieties within Spain.

Etymology and usage: The name combines "vosotros" and "habláis" into a single token, highlighting how the pronoun and verb ending align in the vosotros form. The accent on habláis marks the stress pattern: [aˈβlais]. In Spain, this form is widely used; in most of Latin America, the corresponding second-person plural is formed with ustedes and the verb in third person plural, hablan.

Regional and social aspects: The presence or absence of vosotros or ustedes shapes regional speech, education, and media. The term helps learners understand why different Spanish dialects select different second-person plural forms and how pronunciation interacts with spelling in the present tense.

Limitations: Because vosotroshabláis is not an official term, it should be defined within pedagogical contexts. It is not used in formal grammars or dictionaries, aside from occasional descriptive discussions of the vosotros form.
