encontrabais

Encontrabais is a verb form in the Spanish language. Specifically, it is the second-person plural imperfect indicative of the verb encontrar. Encontrar is a regular -ar verb meaning "to find" or "to meet." The imperfect indicative tense is used to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past, as well as to set the scene or provide background information.

Therefore, "encontrabais" translates to "you all used to find," "you all were finding," or "you all would find," depending on the context. It refers to an action that was happening repeatedly or continuously in the past, as experienced by a group of people being addressed directly (the "vosotros" form in Spanish, primarily used in Spain).

For example, in the sentence "Cuando erais niños, os encontrabais en el parque todos los días," which means "When you were children, you all used to meet in the park every day," the verb "encontrabais" depicts a habitual past action. Similarly, "No sabíamos dónde os encontrabais" translates to "We didn't know where you all were finding yourselves" or "We didn't know where you all were," indicating an ongoing state in the past. The use of "encontrabais" implies a past situation that was not necessarily completed but rather unfolding over a period of time.
