colgasteis

Colgasteis is the second person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb colgar. It is used in Peninsular Spanish to refer to actions completed in the past by the vosotros group. In dialects that do not use vosotros, the corresponding form is colgaron (for ustedes/ellos).

The verb colgar is regular in the preterite, with the stem colg- and the endings -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore colgasteis is formed by adding -asteis to the stem colg-. There is a spelling change in the yo form (colgué), but colgasteis does not involve such changes.

Uso y variantes: colgasteis is primarily used in Spain and other regions that employ the vosotros pronoun. In most Latin American dialects, where ustedes is standard for both singular and plural you, the corresponding past tense form is colgaron.

Ejemplos:

- Ayer colgasteis el teléfono sin decir adiós.

- En América, se diría: “Ayer colgaron el teléfono.”

En resumen, colgasteis es la forma del pretérito simple del verbo colgar para vosotros, característica de la variante peninsular del español.
