raspáis

Raspáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb raspar, meaning to scrape or rasp. It is used in Spain and other Spanish-speaking regions that use the vosotros form to address multiple people. The form is raspáis, with the accent on the í to indicate the stress.

As a regular -ar verb form, raspáis follows the standard vosotros endings: -áis for the present indicative. In Latin American Spanish, where the vosotros form is generally not used, raspáis is less common in everyday speech; instead, the ustedes form raspan is used for the same present tense meaning.

Usage notes include the distinction between regional varieties of Spanish. Raspáis appears in contexts describing actions performed by a group, such as cleaning or preparing a surface by scraping. It can also appear in written materials that preserve the vosotros conjugation for regional or historical reasons.

Example: Vosotros raspáis la madera con una lija para quitar la pintura. Translation: You all scrape the wood with sandpaper to remove the paint.

Etymology is straightforward within Spanish verb formation: raspáis derives from raspar, a regular -ar verb. The term itself does not denote a separate concept or entity beyond its grammatical function as a verb form in standard Spanish.
