podós

"Podés" is a second-person singular informal conjugation of the verb "poder" in Spanish. "Poder" means "to be able to" or "can." Therefore, "podés" translates to "you can" in English, when addressing a single person informally. This conjugation is primarily used in the Rioplatense Spanish dialect, spoken in Argentina and Uruguay. In other Spanish-speaking regions, the equivalent informal second-person singular conjugation is typically "puedes." The use of "vos" (the informal second-person singular pronoun) instead of "tú" is characteristic of Rioplatense Spanish, and the verb conjugations follow a distinct pattern, with "podés" being a prime example. This divergence in verb forms is one of the most recognizable features distinguishing Rioplatense Spanish from other varieties of the language.
