communicáis

Communicáis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb comunicar in the present indicative. It is used with the subject vosotros and translates to “you all communicate” in English. The form is regular for an -ar verb: the stem is comunic- and the ending -áis marks the second-person plural in the present tense. The acute accent on í shows that the stress falls on the last syllable (co-mu-ni-cáis).

In grammar, communicáis belongs to the vosotros paradigm, which is standard in Spain and regions that retain vos. In many Latin American varieties, vosotros is not used; instead, ustedes serves as the second-person plural, and the corresponding present indicative form for ustedes is comunican.

Etymology and related forms: comunicar comes from the Latin communicāre, from communis meaning common. Related words include the noun comunicación. The verb also has other forms in the same paradigm, such as communicáis, comunican, comunicáis, and the derived noun forms. Cognates exist in other Romance languages (Portuguese comunicar, French communiquer, Italian comunicare).
