permutáis

Permutáis is a Spanish verb form. It is the second-person plural (vosotros/vosotras) present indicative conjugation of the verb "permutar". The verb "permutar" means to exchange, swap, or trade one thing for another. Therefore, "permutáis" translates to "you all exchange" or "you all swap" in English.

For example, in a sentence, one might say "Vosotros permutáis cromos" which means "You all trade trading cards". This form is primarily used in Spain. In most Latin American countries, the equivalent form would be "ustedes permutan", using the third-person plural conjugation with the formal "ustedes".

The verb "permutar" itself derives from the Latin word "permutare", meaning to change thoroughly or exchange. The conjugation "permutáis" follows the regular pattern for -ar verbs in the present tense for the vosotros form, where the infinitive ending "-ar" is replaced by "-áis". Understanding this verb form is important for comprehending spoken and written Spanish in regions where the vosotros form is commonly used.
