administrabais

Administrabais is a Spanish verb form. Specifically, it is the second-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb administrar. This means it refers to an action of administering, managing, or governing that was ongoing or habitual in the past, and it is directed at "you all" (vosotros in Spain, or ustedes in Latin America when using the familiar plural form).

The imperfect tense in Spanish is used to describe past actions that were not necessarily completed, to set a scene, or to describe habitual actions in the past. Therefore, "administrabais" would be used in sentences like "Vosotros administrabais la hacienda familiar con gran habilidad" (You all administered the family estate with great skill) or "Cuando éramos jóvenes, vosotros administrabais el dinero de la mesada de forma muy responsable" (When we were young, you all managed your allowance money very responsibly).

The verb "administrar" itself has a broad range of meanings, including managing finances, governing a territory or organization, or even administering medicine. The specific context of the sentence would determine the precise meaning of "administrabais." This verb form is common in literature and everyday speech in Spanish-speaking regions.
