afrontéis

Afrontéis is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural present subjunctive of afrontar, meaning to face or confront. It is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood when addressing vosotros, the informal plural “you all.” The corresponding present indicative form is afrontáis, and the affirmative vosotros command is afrontad, while the negative command is no afrontéis.

Usage notes and examples:

Afrontéis appears in sentences such as Es probable que vosotros afrontéis el reto or Espero que vosotros afrontéis la situación con calma. In regions that use the vosotros form (notably Spain), this form is common in everyday speech and writing when addressing a group informally. In many Latin American varieties, where vosotros is not used, the equivalent form would be afronten (usted/ustedes form).

Etymology and related forms:

The verb afrontar (to confront) is a Romance verb that is cognate with French affronter and Italian affrontare, all sharing a root related to facing or front. Afraontéis belongs to the standard paradigm of present subjunctive for -ar verbs in the vosotros form, with the accent preserving the correct stress.
