adornáis

Adornáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb adornar, meaning “you all adorn” or “you all decorate.” It is used with the pronoun vosotros, which is common in Spain and in parts of other Spanish-speaking regions that maintain the informal plural address. In many Latin American varieties, the vosotros form is not used, and the corresponding present indicative is adornan (with ustedes).

Adornar belongs to the regular -ar verbs. Its present indicative endings are -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an. In the vosotros form the ending is -áis, and the accent on the í marks the stress on the last syllable: adornáis. This accent helps distinguish the form from other present-tense endings.

Etymology: adornar derives from Latin adornare, formed from ad- “to” plus ornam- “equipment, decoration,” ultimately meaning to equip or decorate.

Usage notes: Adornáis is specific to dialects that use vosotros for informal second-person plural address. In dialects lacking vosotros, the equivalent present tense would be adornan when addressing ustedes.

Examples: Vosotros adornáis la sala con guirnaldas para la fiesta. Adornáis las paredes con cuadros nuevos cada temporada.

Related forms include adornáis in present indicative, adornéis in present subjunctive, and adornar’s other tense forms such as adornáis in imperfect or preterite with vosotros. See also adornar and the discussion of vosot-os versus ustedes forms in different dialects.
