estimáis

Estimáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb estimar. It corresponds to “you estimate” when used with the subject vosotros, a form common in Spain and some other regions that maintain the vosotros paradigm. In Latin American varieties that use ustedes instead of vosotros, the equivalent present indicative is estiman (you all estimate).

Used meanings of estimar include calculating or approximating a value (to estimate a cost or quantity), as well as valuing or esteeming someone or something (to regard highly). Thus estimar can refer to numerical assessment as well as personal appraisal, depending on context. The verb can also appear in phrases related to opinion or judgment, where “estimarse” or “estimar” expresses how one values or judges a matter or person.

Examples in context:

- Vosotros estimáis el presupuesto para el próximo mes.

- ¿Cuánto estimáis que costará la reforma?

Etymology and related forms: estimar derives from Latin aestimare, meaning to value or judge. Related words include estimación (estimation), estimado (estimated or dear, as a form of address in correspondence), and estimable (estimable, worth valuing). The form estimáis appears in standard Spanish where vosotros is used; otherwise, the corresponding forms are estiman (ustedes) or estimáis is not used in vos-based varieties.
