mencionáis

Mencionéis is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb mencionar. It is used in Spain and in contexts where the vosotros form is standard, typically in subordinate clauses and formal or literary registers.

In the present subjunctive, the endings for -ar verbs correspond to -éis for vosotros, yielding a form such as mencionéis from the stem mencion-. The full present-subjunctive paradigm of mencionar is: yo mencione, tú menciones, él mencione, nosotros mencionemos, vosotros mencionéis, ellos mencionen.

Usage and regional notes: Mencionéis appears in clauses expressing wish, doubt, emotion, necessity, or hypothetical situations. In many Spanish-speaking regions outside Spain, the ustedes form is used instead of vosotros, so corresponding forms like mencionen are used with ustedes. Consequently, vosotros forms such as mencionéis are predominantly found in Spain, especially in formal writing or literature, and in contexts attempting to preserve the traditional vos form.

Examples: Es posible que vosotros mencionéis ese detalle. Espero que vosotros mencionéis las fuentes.

Orthography and pronunciation: The form carries a written accent on the e in -éis (mencionéis) to indicate the correct stress. Pronunciation follows the standard rules for the vosotros present-subjunctive endings, with the stress on the -éis syllable in most dialects.

Etymology: Mencionéis comes from the verb mencionar, which derives from Latin through the development of Spanish verbs with the -ar conjugation pattern.
