obtengáis

Obtengáis is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the verb obtener. The verb obtener means "to obtain," "to get," or "to achieve." The subjunctive mood in Spanish is used to express a range of subjective or uncertain situations, such as desire, doubt, emotion, necessity, or possibility. Therefore, "obtengáis" is used when referring to the action of obtaining or getting something, but within a context that expresses one of these subjective or uncertain elements, and directed towards "you all" (vosotros/vosotras).

For example, in the sentence "Espero que obtengáis buenas calificaciones" (I hope that you all obtain good grades), "obtengáis" is in the subjunctive because it expresses a hope or desire. Similarly, in "Dudo que obtengáis el permiso" (I doubt that you all will obtain the permit), the subjunctive mood indicates doubt. The form is specific to the informal plural "you" in Spain (vosotros/vosotras). In Latin America and other regions where the formal "ustedes" is used for both formal and informal plural "you," the corresponding form would be "obtengan." Understanding the verb conjugation and the use of the subjunctive mood is crucial for accurate communication in Spanish.
