esmentáis

Esmentáis is a Spanish verb conjugation. It is the second-person plural (vosotros/vosotras) form of the verb "esmentar." "Esmentar" is a somewhat archaic verb that means to mention, name, or recall. Therefore, "esmentáis" translates to "you all mention" or "you all recall."

The verb "esmentar" is derived from the Latin word "mentionare," which also means to mention. In modern Spanish, "esmentar" is rarely used, having been largely replaced by more common verbs like "mencionar" (to mention) or "recordar" (to remember/recall). However, "esmentar" might still be encountered in older texts, literature, or in certain regional dialects.

The conjugation of "esmentar" follows the regular pattern for -ar verbs in Spanish. The present indicative form for "vosotros/vosotras" is "esmentáis." Other conjugations include "yo esmento," "tú esmentas," "él/ella/usted esmenta," "nosotros/nosotras esmentamos," and "ellos/ellas/ustedes esmentan." The subjunctive and imperative moods also have their corresponding forms.

While not in common everyday usage, understanding "esmentáis" provides insight into the evolution of the Spanish language and the nuances of verb conjugation. It is a grammatical form that, if encountered, indicates an archaic or formal register of speech, or a specific literary style.
