comprais

Comprais is generally considered a misspelling or nonstandard form of the Spanish verb comprar in the present indicative. The intended meaning would be “you all buy,” but the standard written form in Spain uses the second-person plural pronoun vosotros: compráis. The form comprais, without the accent on the a, is not recognized as correct Spanish in normative orthography.

Orthography and usage details

- Correct form for vosotros: compráis, with an acute accent on the a to indicate the correct stress.

- For Latin American Spanish, the vosotros form is not used; the corresponding second-person plural is ustedes,

- Comprais without the accent is typically treated as a typo or nonstandard variant in formal writing.
