ayudéis

Ayudáis is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb ayudar, meaning you all help. It is used with the informal plural pronoun vosotros, which is common in Spain and some communities abroad.

Conjugation overview: ayudar is a regular -ar verb. In the present indicative, the forms are: yo ayudo, tú ayudas, él/ella/usted ayuda, nosotros ayudamos, vosotros ayudáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes ayudan. The form variably appears in questions or statements such as “¿Ayudáis a limpiar la casa?” or “Vosotros ayudáis a todos cuando pueden.”

Regional and social variation: in Latin America, the vosotros form is rarely used outside of some regional or education contexts; instead, ustedes ayudan is used for the second person plural, with the same verb form as the third person plural. In regions with voseo, a different second-person singular form is common (for example, ayudás), and the vosotros form may be avoided altogether. The pronunciation of ayudáis emphasizes the final syllable: a-yu-DAIS, with the accent on -áis.

Etymology and related forms: ayudar derives from Latin adiuvare, meaning to aid or assist. Related forms include ayuda (noun, aid), ayudas (you help, plural), and ayudando (helping). As a regular -ar verb, ayudar follows standard present-tense conjugation patterns.

Usage notes: ayudáis is frequently used in everyday conversation to indicate collaborative or collective action, such as in family, school, or work settings. It is also common in written dialogue that reflects Peninsular Spanish, where vosotros is standard.
