accionáis

Accionáis is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb accionar. It is used primarily in Spain with the pronoun vosotros and corresponds to ustedes accionan in most Latin American varieties. The verb accionar means to actuate, operate, or trigger a mechanism, as well as to bring about a result or initiate a process.

In usage, accionáis describes the act of turning on or activating equipment, starting an action, or causing a system to respond. It can be applied to physical devices, such as pressing a button that accionáis a alarm, or to more abstract processes, such as actions that accionáis to implement a plan. In formal or Latin American contexts, the equivalent is you (plural) act or you (plural) activate, expressed as ustedes accionan.

Conjugation notes: accionar follows the regular -ar verb pattern. Present indicative forms include: yo acciono, tú accionas, él acciona, nosotros accionamos, vosotros accionáis, ellos accionan. Preterite (pretérito perfecto simple): accioné, accionaste, accionó, accionamos, accionasteis, accionaron. Imperfect: accionaba, accionabas, accionaba, accionábamos, accionabais, accionaban. Subjunctive present: accione, acciones, accione, accionemos, accionéis, accionen. Imperatives include accionad (vosotros) as the affirmative command form. Note that in many Spanish-speaking countries, the corresponding form for ustedes is accionan.

Etymology: accionar derives from the noun acción (action) with the productive verb suffix -ar, forming a verb meaning to cause to act or to operate a mechanism. The term shares a semantic lineage with related verbs in Romance languages that express activation or initiation.
