averiáis

Averiáis is a Spanish verb form, specifically the second-person plural present indicative of the verb averiar. Averiar means to become defective, to suffer damage, or to malfunction. The form averiáis corresponds to the action carried out by “you all” in the present tense.

In standard present tense conjugation for a verb like averiar, the forms around vosotros are: yo averío, tú averías, él/ella/Usted avería, nosotros averiamos, vosotros averiáis, ellos/ellas/Ustedes averían. The vosotros form averiáis is characteristic of Peninsular Spanish and is used when addressing a group informally in Spain. In most Latin American varieties, the equivalent present tense is expressed with ustedes: ustedes averían.

Averiar is a transitive verb; it takes a direct object that is damaged or malfunctioning, such as una máquina, un motor o un equipo. The verb is related to the noun avería, which denotes a defect, breakdown, or malfunction. Typical contexts describe wear, lack of maintenance, or external factors that cause equipment to fail.

Uses and notes: averaging forms like averiáis appear primarily in written and spoken Spanish regions that retain the vos form in informal address. In other dialects, speakers would use the ustedes form—averían for the present tense when referring to them. The verb’s stem vowel alternations and accent marks help preserve correct pronunciation in different persons and tenses.
