engañáis

Engañáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb engañar, meaning you all deceive. It is used with the vosotros form, which is common in Spain and some parts of the world that maintain the vosotros conjugation. The corresponding present subjunctive form for vosotros is engañéis, used in contexts such as expressions of doubt, emotion, or possibility: “es posible que engañéis a alguien” (it is possible that you all deceive someone).

Engañar is a regular -ar verb, so its present indicative endings for vosotros are -áis (as in engañáis), while the present subjunctive endings for vosotros are -éis (as in engañéis). In many Latin American varieties, the vos forms are less common, and ustedes are used instead of vosotros; the equivalent forms there are engañan (present indicative) and engañen (present subjunctive).

Usage notes: engañáis appears in declarative sentences referring to your group deceiving others. It can appear in negative constructions with no changes, e.g., “No engañáis a nadie” (You all do not deceive anyone). The verb also appears in a range of registers from everyday speech to written contexts.

Relation to related terms: the noun engaño denotes deception or a deceitful act, and the derived verb engañar means to deceive or mislead. The forms enganáis/engañáis are part of the broader conjugation pattern for -ar verbs in the present tense.
