indiqueis

Indiqueis is a Portuguese verb form: the present subjunctive, second-person plural, of the verb indicar (to indicate). It is used with the archaic or literary second-person plural pronoun vós, and appears in registers that retain traditional pronouns or in historical texts and formal writing.

As a mood form, the present subjunctive expresses doubt, necessity, desire, or hypothetical situations. The vos form, including indiqueis, is regional and relatively rare in contemporary speech, commonly confined to Portugal in formal or literary contexts, or in religious, ceremonial, or pedagogical texts. In most modern Brazilian Portuguese and in everyday European Portuguese, speakers use the third-person plural form after vocês, such as indiquem, rather than indiqueis.

Usage notes and variations:

- Indiqueis is typically found where the vós form is preserved, such as in older texts, liturgical language, or certain regional writings.

- In standard contemporary usage, especially in Brazil, indicação is conveyed with indiquem after vocês.

- The form provides a formal or antiquated tone and is sometimes taught in courses on traditional Portuguese conjugation or historical texts.

Example sentences:

- Espero que indiqueis as fontes de forma clara.

- É possível que indiqueis o caminho correto para a reunião.

Etymology and related forms:

- Indiqueis derives from indicar plus the present-subjunctive endings used with vós. Related forms include indiqueis with other verb stems and the more common indique, indique, indiquemos, and indiquem for other persons in the same mood.
