cumplís

Cumplís is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb cumplir, used with the pronoun vosotros. It translates roughly as “you all fulfill” or “you all comply.” This form is characteristic of Spain and other regions that use the vos form; in many Latin American varieties, the corresponding forms are built with ustedes (cumplen) or tú/usted (cumples, cumple).

Morphology and usage of the form: cumplir is an regular -ir verb, and the vosotros present active ending is -ís, yielding cumplís. The accent on í marks the stress on the last syllable. Example: vosotros cumplís con las obligaciones a tiempo.

Meaning and typical contexts: Cumplís expresses carrying out duties, meeting obligations, or fulfilling promises, norms, or requirements. It is commonly used in constructions such as cumplir con la tarea, cumplir las normas, cumplir las expectativas. The sense is about completion or adherence to what is promised or required, rather than merely starting an action.

Regional variation: In Latin American Spanish, where vos is less common, speakers use ustedes instead of vosotros, producing forms like cumplen (they/you all formal). The verb’s meaning remains the same, but the grammatical subject changes accordingly.

Etymology: Cumplir derives from Latin complēre (to fill up, to complete) and entered Spanish via Old Spanish as cumplir, with phonetic changes typical of the language. The present vos form cumplís preserves an older pattern that contrasts with the ustedes forms used in many dialects.
