recorráis

Recorréis is the present indicative form of the Spanish verb recorrer for the second-person plural in the vosotros form. It is used primarily in Spain and corresponds to “you all go through,” “you all travel across,” or “you all traverse” in English. The verb recorrer has a broad range of senses tied to moving through or across space, as well as to going through something in a more figurative sense.

Conjugation and grammar: recorrer is a regular -er verb in the present tense, with the following principal forms: yo recorro, tú recorres, él recorre, nosotros recorremos, vosotros recorréis, ellos recorren. The form recorréis includes the accent on the í to mark stress on the last syllable before the plural pronoun, and it contains a double r from the base “recorr-.”

Usage and nuances: physically, recorréis can describe traveling along a road, path, country, or city, or surveying an area. It can also mean to cover or study ground in a broader sense, such as recorrer un mapa, recorrer un libro (to go through or read through a book), or recorrer una ruta turística. The sense can be literal or metaphorical, depending on context. In Latin America, you would typically swap in recorren for ustedes recorren in the present tense.

Etymology and related forms: recorrer comes from re- (again, back) + currere (to run). A common noun derived from the verb is recorrido, meaning a route or journey, or the act of going through. Recorréis is often contrasted with the ustedes form, recorren, used outside Spain.
