mantengáis

Mantengáis is a verb form in the Spanish language. Specifically, it is the second-person plural subjunctive present form of the verb "mantener." The verb "mantener" generally translates to "to maintain," "to keep," "to sustain," or "to hold."

The subjunctive mood in Spanish is used to express a variety of nuances, including doubt, desire, emotion, opinion, necessity, and uncertainty. Therefore, "mantengáis" would be used in a context where the speaker is addressing a group of people (you all) and expressing one of these non-factual or hypothetical situations related to maintaining, keeping, sustaining, or holding something.

For example, in a sentence like "Espero que mantengáis la calma," the verb "mantengáis" is in the subjunctive mood because it expresses a hope or desire. This translates to "I hope that you all maintain (your) calm." Another instance might be in a command or suggestion, such as "Os pido que mantengáis el orden," meaning "I ask that you all maintain order." The specific meaning of "mantengáis" is thus dependent on the surrounding grammatical structure and the overall context of the sentence in which it appears.
