confirmáis

Confirmáis is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb confirmar, used primarily in Spain with the vosotros pronoun. It translates roughly as “you (all) confirm” or “you are confirming.” The form signals informal address to a group and contrasts with the Latin American practice of using ustedes confirman for the same person.

Morphology and conjugation

Confirmáis is regular for an -ar verb in the present indicative. The full present tense of confirmar is:

- yo confirmo

- tú confirmas

- él/ella/usted confirma

- nosotros confirmamos

- vosotros confirmáis

- ellos/ellas/ustedes confirman

In this vosotros form, the ending -áis carries a tilde on the a (confirmáis) to indicate the correct stress.

Usage and regional variation

Confirmáis is common in Spain when speaking to a group informally. In many other Spanish-speaking regions, the corresponding form uses ustedes: ustedes confirman. The vosotros form is often avoided in formal writing or speech outside Spain. Examples: “¿Confirmáis la reserva para mañana?” or “Confirmáis si la puerta está cerrada.” The verb denotes verification, ratification, or agreement of a stated fact or plan.

Related notes

As a regular -ar verb, confirmar shares predictable patterns with other conjugations in the present tense. The presence of the vosotros form in España is a defining regional feature of the verb’s usage and conjugation.
