reconhecéis

Reconocéis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb reconocer. It means “you all recognize” or “you all acknowledge” and is used when addressing a group informally in Spain and in regions where the vosotros form is common. In most of Latin America, the corresponding present tense form is reconocen (with ustedes), since ustedes is the default second-person plural pronoun there.

Etymology and verb pattern: reconocer comes from Latin recognoscere (re- + cognoscere), meaning to recall, to know again, or to recognize. In the present tense, reconocer shows the irregular yo form reconozco, but the vosotros form follows the regular -er endings: vosotros reconocéis. The accent on the é in reconocéis marks the stressed syllable, aiding correct pronunciation.

Conjugation highlights: present indicative forms include yo reconozco, tú reconoces, él reconoce, nosotros reconocemos, vosotros reconocéis, ellos reconocen. Beyond the present, the verb is otherwise regular in many tenses, though it retains the stem change in some forms (e.g., reconozco in the yo form).

Usage notes: reconocer is used with people, places, objects, or ideas, and can also mean to admit or acknowledge in contexts such as recognizing a mistake or acknowledging someone’s contribution. Example sentences: “Vosotros reconocéis al profesor en la foto.” “Ustedes reconocen la importancia de la investigación.”

Spelling note: the correct Spanish spelling is reconocéis. The form “reconhecéis” with an h is not standard in Spanish (it reflects Portuguese orthography rather than Spanish). Latin American varieties typically use ustedes with recognocién forms like reconocen rather than using vosotros.
