andas

Andas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb andar, which means to walk, go, or function. It is used when addressing someone informally as tú, and it can refer to physical movement as well as a general state or condition.

In the present tense, the full conjugation of andar is: yo ando, tú andas, él/ella/usted anda, nosotros andamos, vosotros andáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes andan. The form andas appears in statements and questions about what someone is doing or how they are feeling.

Common uses include describing movement: “¿Cómo andas?” (How are you / How are you doing?), “Ando caminando por la ciudad” (I’m walking around the city). It also expresses state or function: “La máquina anda bien” (The machine is running well) and can appear in expressions that mean being in a certain mood or condition, such as “andar cansado” or “andar ocupado.”

Because andar is versatile, andas can appear in a variety of contexts to convey motion, activity, or condition, often with further complements or adverbial phrases. The form is distinct to informal address and is part of everyday speech in Spanish-speaking regions.
