infringís

Infringís is the second person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb infringir, used in the vosotros form. It expresses the action you all commit when you infringe, or are infringing, rules, rights, or laws. The verb infringir comes from Latin infringere and is irregular in the present tense: yo infrinjo; tú infringes; él infringe; nosotros infringimos; vosotros infringís; ellos infringen. The accent on í in infringís marks the stressed syllable in the vosotros form.

Usage varies by region. The vosotros form is standard in Spain and some parts of the southern cone, but less common in Latin America, where ustedes infringen is used for the same meaning. In formal or neutral writing, ustedes forms may be preferred depending on the audience. The term infringir means to violate, breach, contravene a rule, a right, or a law; infringís thus conveys that you all violate such provisions.

Examples: Si infringís las normas de seguridad, recibís una sanción. Distribuís material sin permiso y, en consecuencia, infringís derechos de autor. These sentences illustrate the present tense usage of infrinġís in typical discourse, highlighting both regulatory and rights-related contexts.
