entendéis

Entendáis is the present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb entender for the second-person plural (vosotros). It is used primarily in Spain to address a group informally and appears in subordinate clauses after verbs or expressions that express doubt, desire, emotion, possibility, or necessity.

Morphology and usage facts:

- Form: ent- end- plus the vosotras/vosotros subjunctive ending -áis, yielding entendáis.

- Typical present-subjunctive paradigm for entender includes: yo entienda, tú entiendas, él entienda, nosotros entendamos, vosotros entendáis, ellos entiendan.

- Common contexts: after que in sentences like Espero que entendáis la lección, Es importante que entendáis las reglas, o Ojalá que entendáis lo que digo.

Regional and dialectal notes:

- In most of Latin America, the vosotros forms are not used; donde applicable, speakers use ustedes entiendan instead of vosotros entendáis.

- Entendáis often appears in formal writing or speech in Spain, or in fictional or historical registers to reflect that regional form.

Relation to other forms:

- Entendáis is the subjunctive counterpart to the indicative vosotros entendéis and to other subjunctive forms such as entienda, entiendas, entienda, entendamos, entiendan.

- The present subjunctive mood is commonly triggered by verbs of wishing, doubting, or hypothetical scenarios, and by expressions introducing subordinate clauses.

Examples illustrate its use:

- Espero que entendáis lo que quiero decir.

- Es posible que entendáis la necesidad de este cambio.
