quedéis

Quedéis is the present subjunctive form of the verb quedar for the second-person plural pronoun vosotros. In the standard conjugation of quedar, the present subjunctive endings for vosotros produce quedéis (others are quedeis in some spellings historically, but modern Spanish uses quedéis). The corresponding present indicative form is quedáis, and the present subjunctive for ustedes/ellos is queden.

Morphology and usage

Quedar is a regular -ar verb, so its present subjunctive endings follow the pattern -e, -es, -e, -emos, -éis, -en for the respective persons. Thus, vosotros quedéis is formed with the stem quedar plus -éis in the subjunctive. The form does not have a separate lexical meaning beyond quedar itself; its function is to mark mood (subjunctive) in subordinate clauses.

Regional and stylistic notes

Quedéis is primarily used in Spain and in regions that maintain the vosotros form. In most of Latin America, speakers typically use the ustedes form, with queden as the present subjunctive for ustedes. When the verb is reflexive in the same clause, the corresponding form is os quedéis (for vosotros) rather than quedéis alone.

Examples

Es importante que vosotros quedéis para la reunión. Es posible que vosotros quedéis fuera de la lista si no traéis la documentación. Si se usa en un contexto reflexivo, se diría os quedéis, como en Espero que os quedéis un rato más.
