descanséis

Descanséis is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb descansar, meaning to rest. It is used in subordinate clauses that follow expressions of desire, doubt, emotion, necessity, or possibility, when the subject is vosotras or vosotros.

In standard usage, descansar follows the regular -ar verb pattern in the present subjunctive for vosostros: descanséis, along with the other forms descanses (tú), descanse (usted/él/ella), descansemos (nosotros/nosotras), y descansen (ustedes/ellos/ellas). The form descanséis is most commonly found in peninsular Spanish, where the second-person plural subject pronoun vosotros is used.

Regional variation: in Latin American Spanish, where vosostros is not used, the present subjunctive corresponding to vosotros is typically conveyed with ustedes, yielding descansen for ustedes. In formal or literary contexts, or when aiming for a regional register that uses vosotros, descanséis may appear.

Examples:

- Espero que descanséis después del viaje. (I hope you all rest after the trip.)

- Es importante que descanséis un poco antes de continuar. (It is important that you all get some rest before continuing.)

- No es seguro que descanséis si no tenéis tiempo. (It is not certain that you all rest if you do not have time.)

Descanséis is closely tied to the verb descansar’s stem and its mood, and is mainly encountered in Spain or in writings where the vosotros form is used. See also: descansar, subjunctive mood, present subjunctive.
