discutais

Discutais is a Romance-language verb form rather than a standalone lexical entry. It appears as a conjugated ending of verbs built from the root discutir/discutir (to discuss or debate) and is recognized in several language varieties with different grammatical functions. The exact meaning depends on the language and the tense or mood involved.

In French, the form can be encountered as part of the imperfect indicative for the second-person singular informal tu or the first-person singular je: discutais. Both je discutais and tu discutais denote an ongoing or habitual past action (je discutais avec mes amis means “I used to discuss with my friends”). When read in isolation, it is understood from the surrounding context which subject is implied; it is not a separate lexical item.

In Portuguese, discutais is primarily a present-subjunctive form used with the second-person plural vos (vós) in European Portuguese. It functions in subordinate clauses or after expressions requiring the subjunctive, such as “É necessário que discutais o assunto.” Brazilian Portuguese tends to use other forms (for example, discutam) in the same contexts, reflecting regional variation in pronoun usage.

In Spanish, the close counterpart is discutáis, the present subjunctive form for vosotros (you plural). This form carries the accent to indicate stress on the i; a non-accented variant discuteis is generally considered nonstandard or incorrect in standard Spanish orthography.

Discutais may thus appear across languages as a specific inflected form of a verb meaning “to discuss,” with its precise grammatical role determined by the language context and the associated tense or mood.
