invitasteis

Invitasteis is the pretérito indefinido (simple past) form of the Spanish verb invitar for the second-person plural pronoun vosotros. It corresponds to the English “you invited” when addressing a group that includes the speaker.

Formation and conjugation: For the -ar verb invitar, the vosotros form in the pretérito indefinido is created by taking the stem invitat- and adding the ending -asteis, giving invitasteis. The form is regular and does not change with different subjects beyond the vosotros pronoun.

Usage and regional variation: Invitasteis is predominantly used in Spain and in dialects or communities that maintain the vosotros form. In most of Latin America, where the pronoun vosotros is not used, the past tense for “you invited” is typically expressed as invitó or invitaste with ustedes as the second-person plural (ustedes invitaron). Thus, invitasteis signals a regional formality tied to the vosotros dialect.

Examples:

- Ayer invitasteis a todos a la fiesta.

- ¿Qué día invitasteis al evento?

Related terms: The infinitive is invitar. Related conjugations include invito (present, yo), invitaste (tú), invitó (él/ella/Usted), invitamos (nosotros), invitasteis (vosotros), invitaron (ustedes/Ellos). The form contrasts with the tú form invitaste and with the ustedes form invitaron.
