abrís

Abrís is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb abrir, meaning “to open.” It is used with the vosotros subject pronoun and translates to “you all open” in English. The form is derived from the stem abr- with the standard vosotros ending -ís, and the accent mark on í indicates the stress on the last syllable.

Usage and regional variation: In Spain, abrís is common in everyday speech when using vosotros. In most Latin American countries, vosotros is not used; instead, ustedes serves as the second person plural, and the corresponding present indicative is abren (you all open). In regions that employ voseo, such as parts of Argentina and Uruguay, the vos form for present indicative is abris or abrís, depending on regional pronunciation, but abrís is widely understood as the vos form.

Etymology and grammar: Abrir comes from the Latin aperīre. The present indicative forms for -ir verbs in the vosotros/vos form are regular, so abrir behaves predictably in the present tense. The accent in abrís helps distinguish it from other forms and from nonstandard spellings.

Example: In Spain, one might say: Abrís la ventana, por favor. In Latin America, the equivalent with ustedes would be: Ustedes abren la ventana, por favor. In voseo regions, the informal vos form is abrís la ventana.
