agradecisteis

Agradecisteis is the second-person plural pretérito indefinido (past simple) form of the Spanish verb agradecer. It corresponds to “you all thanked” or “you all expressed gratitude” and is used when addressing a group informally in Spain, where the vosotros form is standard.

Usage and regional notes. The form denotes a completed action in the past performed by the pronoun vosotros. It commonly appears with a direct object that indicates what was thanked (for example, “agradecisteis su ayuda” – you all thanked him/her for his/her help). In most Latin American varieties, the vosotros forms are not used; instead, ustedes is used for you all, and the corresponding pretérito is agradecieron.

Examples. A sentence such as “Agradecisteis su hospitalidad durante la visita” means “You all thanked them for their hospitality during the visit.” The verb agradecer, including its vosotros form, is used to express gratitude toward someone or something and can appear with phrases like “a” + person or without an explicit indirect object when the context is clear.

Form and orthography. Agradecer is an -er verb; the vosotros preterite ends in -isteis, yielding “agradecisteis.” The spelling uses ce before i, consistent with other preterite forms of -er verbs in this person.
