precisáis

Preciséis is a form associated with the Spanish verb precisar. In standard modern Spanish, the second-person plural present indicative form for the vosotros pronoun is precisáis, with the accent on the í. The spelling preciséis, with a different accent mark, is generally regarded as nonstandard in contemporary orthography and may appear only as a typographical error, historical artifact, or in dialectal texts.

The verb precisar has meanings related to specifying or being precise, as well as to requiring or needing in some senses. Accordingly, precisáis can be translated as “you all specify,” “you all are precise,” or, in contexts where expresar necesidad is meant, “you all need” (though necesitar is more common for that sense in modern usage). The vosotros form is typical in Spain and other varieties that preserve the tú/vos distinction; many Spanish-speaking regions use ustedes instead, conjugating as ustedes precisan.

Usage notes include the regional distribution of vosotros forms: precision-focused second-person plural forms are characteristic of Peninsular Spanish, particularly in informal or familiar settings. In formal writing or in Latin American varieties, the ustedes form is used instead, yielding ustedes precisan.

Etymology broadly links precisar to Latin roots meaning to cut out or define, contributing to senses of specifying, clarifying, or making precise. In daily usage, precisar often appears in phrases that involve detailing instructions, requirements, or definitions.
