comprendíais

Comprendíais is a verb form in the Spanish language. It is the second-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb comprender, which means "to understand." This form would be used in sentences referring to an action or state of understanding that was ongoing or habitual in the past, directed at "you all" (vosotros/vosotras). For example, in a historical narrative or a recounting of past events, one might say, "Vosotros comprendíais la importancia de la misión" which translates to "You all understood the importance of the mission." The imperfect tense in Spanish is used to describe past actions without a definite beginning or end, or to describe habitual actions in the past. Therefore, "comprendíais" specifically denotes a past, ongoing, or repeated understanding by a group of people being addressed as "vosotros." This form is common in Castilian Spanish.
