intuís

Intuís is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb intuir, meaning to sense, perceive, or infer by intuition. It is used when addressing a group familiar to the speaker, namely vosotros, in dialects that maintain the tú/vosotros distinction (primarily in Spain and parts of the Southern Cone). In Latin America, the corresponding form is intuyen, with ustedes instead of vosotros for the second person plural.

Conjugation in the present tense is: yo intuyo, tú intuyes, él/ella/usted intuye, nosotros intuimos, vosotros intuís, ellos/ellas/ustedes intuyen.

Usage notes: Intuir refers to forming an impression or deduction without full logical proof, based on intuition or indirect clues. It can express a hypothesis or an initial reading of a situation, often preceding further evidence. It is common in evaluative or analytical contexts, such as investigations, forecasting, or personal judgments. Related verbs include percibir, deducir, and intuir is sometimes contrasted with pronouncements that rely on explicit data.

Etymology: intuir comes from Latin intueri, meaning to look at or observe, and entered Spanish in the early modern period. The form intuís reflects the standard Spanish pattern for the vos o tros form of this verb.

Examples: Vosotros intuís que hay un error si revisáis las cifras detenidamente. Con solo leer el informe, intuís el problema que se esconde detrás de los números. These examples illustrate the use of intuís to express a sense or preliminary conclusion by a group addressed as vosotros.
