aplaudisteis

Aplaudisteis is the second-person plural form in the pretérito indefinido (pretérito simple) of the Spanish verb aplaudir. It is used to indicate that you all applauded in the past. This form is characteristic of the Spanish spoken in Spain, where the vosotros form is common; in many Latin American varieties, the corresponding past tense is formed with ustedes, as in aplaudaron.

Conjugation of aplaudir in the pretérito indefinido (selected forms): yo aplaudí, tú aplaudiste, él aplaudió, nosotros aplaudimos, vosotros aplaudisteis, ellos aplaudieron. Aplaudisteis shares the regular -isteis ending for the vosotros form in -ir verbs, and the other persons follow the standard pattern for -ir verbs in this tense.

Usage and notes: Aplaudisteis marks a completed action in the past and is commonly used in narratives, reports, or descriptions that involve a past moment when the group clapped. It is a regular form, with no stem changes in this tense beyond the standard -ir verb conjugation. In dialects that do not use the vosotros form, equivalent constructions use ustedes and an appropriate preterite form (ustedes aplaudieron).

Example: Aplaudisteis al final de la función cuando el director dio las gracias. This demonstrates the past, plural, second-person subject, and a typical context in which the form appears.
