actuáis

Actuáis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb actuar in the present indicative. It corresponds to “you all act” and is used with the pronoun vosotros. This form is standard in Spain and in regions that still use the vosotros form; in much of Latin America, where ustedes is used instead of vosotros, the corresponding form for “you all” is actúan.

Actuar, from which actuáis is derived, is a regular -ar verb. The present indicative forms are actúo, actúas, actúa, actuamos, actuáis, actúan. The accent on actuáis marks the stress on the last syllable, in accordance with Spanish pronunciation rules for words ending in s.

Usage notes: actuáis describes actions carried out by several people in the present time. It appears in everyday speech in informal or semi-formal contexts that employ vosotros. In dialects or registers that do not use vosotros, the corresponding form is ustedes actúan.

Examples: “Durante la reunión, vosotros actuáis con rapidez y precisión.” “Si actuáis con honestidad, la gente confía en vosotros.” In Latin American Spanish, the equivalent would typically be “ustedes actúan.”
