disperséis

Dispersáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb dispersar, meaning to scatter, spread out, or distribute. It is used with the pronoun vosotros, which is typical of Spain and some other Spanish-speaking regions that retain the formal informal distinction. The form follows the regular -ar verb paradigm, with the ending -áis.

In standard Spanish, the corresponding present indicative forms for other subjects are disperso (yo), dispersas (tú), dispersa (él/ella/usted), dispersamos (nosotros/as), dispersan (ellos/ellas/ustedes). Because many Latin American varieties do not use vosotros, they instead employ dispersan (ustedes) in the present tense. The present subjunctive for vosotros is disperséis, which is often confused with dispersáis due to close spelling.

Dispersáis appears in contexts that address a group informally in Spain, such as instructions, guidance, or descriptive statements about actions performed by multiple people. For example: “Dispersáis las semillas de forma uniforme para favorecer la germinación.” The verb also appears in broader discussions of movement, distribution, or dispersal processes, whether literal (seeds, people, objects) or figurative (ideas, rumors).

Related forms include dispersar (infinitive), disperso (yo form), dispersáis (vosotros form), and dispersen (ellas/ellos/ustedes present subjunctive). The term is used across registers ranging from instructional to descriptive, maintaining neutral, expository tone typical of encyclopedia-style entries.
