dormís

Dormís is the present indicative form of the Spanish verb dormir used with the second-person pronoun in two regional varieties. In Spain it is paired with vosotros to address multiple people informally, meaning “you sleep” (you all sleep). In several Latin American dialects, dormís is used with vos, the informal singular pronoun, to mean “you sleep.” In most of Latin America, the corresponding form for the plural “you all” is ustedes, whose present tense is duermen.

Etymology and morphology: dormir comes from the Latin dormirē. The form dormís follows the regular -ir verb pattern for the vos and vosotros endings in the present tense, with the accent marking stress on the last syllable (dormís).

Pronunciation: the word is pronounced with two syllables, roughly doɾˈmis in standard Spanish, with the stress on the final syllable. The initial d is a voiced alveolar stop, and the r is a tapped alveolar.

Usage notes: dormís appears primarily in regions that use the vosotros or vos forms. In regions that use ustedes for the second person plural, or in formal speech, the corresponding forms are duermís (when using vos) or duermen (for ustedes). The exact pronoun used—vos, vosotros, or ustedes—depends on regional dialect and social context.

Examples: Dormís temprano cada noche. ¿A qué hora dormís? (soles) Dormís temprano, ¿verdad? En España: "¿A qué hora dormís, chicos?" See also dormir; conjugation; vosotros form; vos usage.
