faltasteis

Faltasteis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb faltar in the pretérito simple (preterite). It translates roughly as "you all missed" or "you all were absent" and is used to indicate that a group did not attend an event or was lacking in some respect in the past.

Usage and regional notes

Faltasteis is primarily used with the vosotros subject pronoun, which is common in Spain. In most Latin American dialects, the corresponding past tense for “you all” is expressed with ustedes and the third-person plural form, faltaron, rather than faltasteis. Grammatically, faltasteis functions as a finite verb form agreeing with the second-person plural subject.

Conjugation (brief)

yo falté, tú faltaste, él/ella/Ud. faltó, nosotros/as faltamos, vosotros/as faltasteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. faltaron.

Examples

- Ayer faltasteis a la reunión por problemas de transporte. (Yesterday you all missed the meeting.)

- Si no llegasteis a tiempo, faltasteis a la cita acordada. (If you all did not arrive on time, you missed the agreed appointment.)

Ambiguity and naming

There is no widely recognized meaning of faltasteis as a proper noun, organization, or title in common use. It is primarily known as a verb form within Spanish grammar.

In summary, faltasteis is a standard verb form used to describe a past absence or failure to attend, typically in Spain and in contexts where the vosotros form is appropriate.
