extendáis

Extendáis is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb extender, meaning to extend, stretch, or spread. This form is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood, often after verbs of doubt, desire, possibility, emotion, or in hypothetical or non-factual contexts. Its use is common in Spain, where the vosostros form is standard; in much of Latin America, the ustedes form is used instead and the corresponding subjunctive would be extendan.

Etymology and classification: extendáis comes from extender, which in turn derives from Latin extendere. In the present subjunctive, the vosotros form follows the pattern of -er verbs with the ending -áis, with the stem alternating between extiend- and extend- depending on the form and regional usage.

Conjugation note: in the present subjunctive of extender, the full paradigm for the main person forms is often cited as yo extienda, tú extiendas, él extienda, nosotros extendamos, vosotros extendáis, ellos extiendan. The vosotros form extendáis is the key feature that marks this voice and mood in that regional variant.

Example usage:

- Espero que extendáis el plazo de entrega para completar el proyecto.

- Es posible que extendáis la garantía por un año más.
