anunciáis

Anunciáis is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb anunciar. It corresponds to the English phrase “you all announce” (or “you all are announcing”) and is used with the pronoun vosotros, which is standard in Spain and some other regions. In many Spanish-speaking areas, where the vosotros form is not used, the corresponding present tense is formed with ustedes and the third-person plural (anuncian).

Etymology and morphology: anunciar comes from Latin annuntiare, meaning to announce. Anunciáis is a regular -ar verb form in the present indicative for vosotros, with the -áis ending and stress on that final syllable.

Usage: the form is employed to describe actions of a group of people informing or declaring something. Examples include: “Anunciáis la noticia mañana” and “Vosotros anunciáis promociones en la radio.” In written dialogue, anunciáis may appear to reflect a character who speaks using vosotros. The meaning remains simply “you all announce.”

Pronunciation: in standard Spanish, the stress falls on the final syllable of anunciáis, indicated by the written accent on i (anunciáis).

Comparison: the corresponding form used with ustedes/ellos/ellas is anuncian in the present indicative (for you all, in regions that do not use vosotros). See also anunciar, vosotros, present indicative, and Spanish verb conjugation.
