deshacéis

Deshacéis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb deshacer. The verb means to undo, dismantle, or unravel something, and it can be used both literally and figuratively. Deshacer combines the prefix des- with hacer (to do or to make), signaling reversal or undoing of an action, a construction, a plan, or a state.

In usage, deshacéis is common in Spain, where the vosotros form is standard for informal plural address. In most of Latin America, the corresponding present indicative is deshacen, used with the ustedes form. The basic paradigm in the present tense is: deshago, deshaces, deshace, deshacemos, deshacéis, deshacen. The present subjunctive for vosotros is deshagáis. The verb can also appear in a wide range of compounds and idiomatic expressions (for example, deshacer la maleta, deshacer un nudo, deshacer un plan, deshacer el daño).

Etymologically, deshacer comes from the prefix des- added to hacer, tracing back to Latin facere (to do, to make). The sense of reversal is preserved in many of the verb’s uses, from undoing a physical action to debunking or overturning an argument or outcome.

Notes on meaning and usage: deshacer is transitive and typically requires a direct object. The form deshacéis specifically marks the subject as “you all” in informal plural address, a feature characteristic of Peninsular Spanish; other dialects use deshacen or similar forms aligned with ustedes.
