fijáis

Fijáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb fijar, used with the pronoun vosotros. It corresponds to “you all fix” or “you all fasten” in English and is standard in Spain. In many Spanish-speaking countries, the present indicative with the pronoun ustedes would be fijan.

Conjugation highlights: presente de indicativo: yo fijo, tú fijas, él/ella fija, nosotros fijamos, vosotros fijáis, ellos fijan. Presente de subjuntivo (forma de vosotros): fijéis. Note that the subjunctive form for vosotros is fijéis, not fijáis.

Usage: Fijar has several senses: to fasten or secure something physically; to fix or set something in place; to establish or determine something, such as una fecha, un precio, un objetivo; and to fix someone’s attention or focus on something. It is common in both literal and figurative contexts.

Examples: “Fijáis la estantería a la pared con tornillos” (you all fasten the shelf to the wall). “Tenemos que fijar la fecha de la reunión” (we have to set the date of the meeting). “Fijar un objetivo claro” (to set a clear objective). In everyday speech, fijar puede also appear in expressions like fijar precios or fijar metas.

Origin and notes: The verb fijar derives from a root associated with fixing or attaching, with related forms in other Romance languages. In practice, fijáis is used primarily in Spain with vosotros, while many Spanish-speaking regions use ustedes fijan in similar present contexts.
