comparezcáis

Comparezcáis is a verb form in the Spanish language. It is the second-person plural (vosotros/vosotras) present subjunctive of the verb comparecer. The verb comparecer translates to "to appear," "to show up," or "to attend" in English, often in a formal or legal context.

The subjunctive mood in Spanish is used to express a variety of concepts, including desire, doubt, emotion, and hypothetical situations. Therefore, comparezcáis is typically used in clauses that express a wish or a command that the group addressed (vosotros/vosotras) should appear or attend something. For instance, a sentence might read "Es importante que comparezcáis ante el juez" (It is important that you [plural, informal] appear before the judge).

The form is characterized by the "-áis" ending, which is indicative of the infinitive ending "-ecer" in the present subjunctive for verbs ending in -cer or -cir, coupled with the second-person plural subject. The stem change from "comparec-" to "comparezc-" is a common feature of verbs ending in -cer and -cir in the present subjunctive. This conjugation pattern is consistent across many verbs with similar endings in Spanish.
