desmanteláis

Desmanteláis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb desmantelar. This verb means to dismantle, take apart, or demolish. Therefore, "desmanteláis" translates to "you all dismantle" or "you dismantle" (when addressing multiple people).

The verb desmantelar is derived from the noun "mantele," which historically referred to a covering or cloth, and the prefix "des-" indicating removal or undoing. Thus, the core meaning relates to the act of removing or taking away a covering or structure.

In practice, "desmanteláis" can be used in various contexts. It might refer to the physical act of taking apart a building, a piece of machinery, or even a piece of furniture. For example, one might say, "Vosotros desmanteláis la vieja fábrica" (You all dismantle the old factory). It can also be used metaphorically, such as in dismantling a criminal organization or a corrupt system. A sentence like, "Ellos desmanteláis la red de tráfico" (They dismantle the trafficking network) would illustrate this figurative usage. The context in which the verb is used will determine the precise meaning.
