quisisteis

Quisisteis is the second-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb querer, used with the pronoun vosotros. It expresses a completed desire or action in the past, roughly “you all wanted” or “you all did want.” Querer is irregular in the preterite; its stem changes from quer- to quis- in all preterite forms. The full irregular preterite paradigm for querer is: quise, quisiste, quiso, quisimos, quisisteis, quisieron.

Usage notes: In Spain and other dialects that use vosotros, quisisteis is common to indicate past desire or intention directed at a past event. In much of Latin America, where vosotros is not used, the corresponding form is ustedes quisieron, with the same meaning in the past tense. The distinction is primarily regional rather than grammatical.

Examples:

- Quisisteis salir a las ocho, pero no pudisteis. (You all wanted to go out at eight, but you could not.)

- ¿Qué quisisteis hacer ayer? (What did you all want to do yesterday?)

Quisisteis contributes to the broader pattern of the querer family in the Spanish preterite, illustrating how some common verbs form irregular stems while retaining the standard preterite endings for each grammatical person.
