reconsideras

Reconsideras is the second person singular form of the Spanish verb reconsiderar in the present indicative tense, occurring when the subject is tú (you). It expresses the action of reconsidering or rethinking something that has been decided or stated. As a regular -ar verb, its present tense forms follow the standard pattern: yo reconsidero, tú reconsideras, él/ella reconsidera, nosotros reconsideramos, vosotros reconsideráis, ellos reconsideran. The vosotros form carries a written accent on the í and is used primarily in Spain; in many Spanish-speaking regions the corresponding form is reconsideráis, while for ustedes the plural form is reconsideran.

Etymology and usage: reconsiderar is built from re- (again) and considerar (to consider), with reconsideras reflecting the ongoing act of reconsideration in second person. The term is common in everyday Spanish, especially in discussions, negotiations, and decision-making contexts where a person is urged or given the opportunity to review information or choices.

Nuances and related forms: Reconsideras implies a direct address to the listener and often signals a potential change of mind or a request to reevaluate. Related forms include reconsidero (I reconsider), reconsidera (he/she/you formal reconsider), and reconsideramos (we reconsider). The formal second-person singular is reconsidera with usted, while the plural ustedes use reconsideran. In casual speech, reconsiderar can also appear in subordinate clauses using que: “Es necesario que reconsideres tu posición.”
