compréis

Compráis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb comprar in the present indicative. It means “you all buy” and is used with the informal plural subject vosotros, a form common in Spain. In many Spanish-speaking regions that do not use vosotros, the corresponding present indicative is expressed with ustedes: “ustedes compran.”

Conjugation pattern: comprar is a regular -ar verb. In the present indicative the forms are: compro, compras,

Usage notes: Compráis appears in contexts where the vosotros form is standard, such as informal plural subjects

Examples: Vosotros compráis pan y otros productos en la tienda cada semana. ¿Cuándo compráis los billetes para

Related forms: The other present indicative forms of comprar are: yo compro, tú compras, él compra, nosotros
