detalláis

Detalláis is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb detallar. It means “you detail” or “you all detail,” and is used when addressing two or more people informally in Spain (vósotros). Detallar is a transitive verb that typically takes a direct object, such as a list, characteristics, steps, or facts, as in “Detalláis las características de cada modelo” or “Detalláis los pasos del procedimiento.” In many Spanish-speaking regions outside Spain, the corresponding form is “ustedes detallan.”

Etymology and form: Detalláis derives from the noun detalle (detail), with the Spanish verb-forming suffix -ar. The word is closely related to other verbs built from detalle, and its use follows the regular conjugation pattern of -ar verbs in the vosotros form. The spelling includes an accent on the a in –áis to indicate the correct stress in this present-tense form.

Usage notes: Detalláis is common in both spoken and written Spanish in Spain. In Latin America, speakers typically use the ustedes form, as in “ustedes detallan.” When choosing between detallar and synonyms, detallar emphasizes presenting specifics and particulars rather than giving a general overview; related terms include desglosar (to break down) and especificar (to specify).

Examples:

- Detalláis las especificaciones técnicas en el informe.

- Detalláis cada paso del procedimiento para evitar confusiones.
