definís

Definís is the present indicative form of the Spanish verb definir, used with the second-person subject. In Peninsular Spanish, it is the plural form corresponding to vosotros definís, meaning you all define. In regions that use voseo, such as parts of Argentina and Uruguay, definís is the present singular vos form meaning you define. The spelling is the same in both cases; the subject pronoun determines the interpretation. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable according to Spanish orthography.

Conjugation and usage: Definir is a regular -ir verb. The present indicative forms are: yo defino, tú defines, él define, nosotros definimos, vosotros definís, ellos definen. Therefore, definís represents either the second-person plural in Spain (vosotros definís) or the second-person singular vos form in voseo varieties. In Latin American standard usage without voseo, the corresponding form for “you define” is defines (tú defines) or definen (ustedes definen).

Etymology and meaning: Definir comes from Latin definire, from de- (completely, thoroughly) + finire (to end, to limit). The core sense is to determine or explain the precise meaning or boundaries of something.

Usage notes: The form definís is regionally constrained and may be heard in different audiences depending on the variant of Spanish. When writing, the choice between vos, vosotros, or ustedes shapes how definís is interpreted and paired with the appropriate pronoun. Definir and its present forms are generally used to specify meanings, boundaries, or characteristics of words, concepts, or objects.
