decantáis

Decantáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb decantar. The verb decantar has two main senses. In the culinary and winemaking sense, it means to pour a liquid, especially wine, from one container to another in order to separate sediment and to improve aroma and clarification. In a broader sense, decantar can mean to incline or tilt toward a particular choice, opinion, or interpretation.

In everyday use, decantáis typically appears in Spain, where the vosotros form is common. In Latin America, where tú and ustedes are more widely used, speakers would normally use decantan or decantan ustedes to express the same idea. The present tense forms of decantar follow the regular -ar conjugation pattern; for present indicative, forms include decanto, decantas, decanta, decantamos, decantáis, and decantan.

Common contexts for decantáis include both practical instruction and discussion about preferences. For example, decantáis el vino para evitar los sedimentos, or decantáis por la opción B tras evaluar las pruebas. The word can also arise in discussions about attitudes or policies, where someone says that a group decanta su postura toward una determinada alternativa.

Originariamente, decantar proviene de un uso ligado a verter o separar líquidos, y extendió su sentido para cubrir la idea de inclined or favoring una opción. El término se emplea ampliamente en español moderno, especialmente en ámbitos de hostelería y debates, cuando se dirige a un grupo que se expresa en segunda persona plural.
