dirigís

Dirigís is a present-tense form of the Spanish verb dirigir, meaning to direct or to lead. It is used as the second-person form in two regional pronoun systems: with vos in voseo varieties (for example, Argentina and Uruguay) to mean “you direct,” and as the vosotros form (second person plural) in parts of Spain to mean “you all direct.” In both cases the written form is dirigís, with the accent indicating the stressed syllable.

In standard Latin American Spanish without voseo, the corresponding forms are tú diriges (you direct) and ustedes dirigen (you all direct). In Spain’s vosost form, the present indicative for vosotros is dirigís exactly as written, while the vos form is dirigís as well, but the pronoun changes the reference to singular or plural depending on regional usage. The formal equivalents are usted dirige (you direct) and ustedes dirigen (you all direct).

The verb itself comes from Latin dirigĭre, meaning to guide or lead. The present tense paradigm of dirigir is usually given as: yo dirijo, tú diriges, él dirige, nosotros dirigimos, vosotros dirigís, ellos dirigen. In voseo regions, the vos form aligns with the same endings and retains the stress on the last syllable: dirigís.

Usage notes: dirigís is informal in both voseo and regional vosotros systems. For formal address, use usted dirige (singular) or ustedes dirigen (plural). Dirigir also appears in several compound tenses and subjunctive forms, where the stem dirigi- is retained and the appropriate endings are added.
