calculáis

Calculáis is a verb form in the Spanish language. Specifically, it is the second-person plural present indicative conjugation of the verb "calcular". This means it is used when addressing a group of people (you all) and describing an action that is currently happening or is habitually done, related to the act of calculating, estimating, or reckoning.

The verb "calcular" itself derives from the Latin word "calculus," meaning a small stone or pebble, which was historically used for counting or reckoning. Therefore, "calculáis" directly translates to "you all calculate," "you all estimate," or "you all reckon." For example, in a sentence like "Vosotros calculáis el precio," it means "You all calculate the price." The form is primarily used in Spain, as most of Latin America prefers the "ustedes" form which uses the same conjugation but is derived from the third-person plural. Understanding "calculáis" is essential for comprehending spoken and written Spanish in regions where the "vosotros" pronoun is commonly employed.
