referíais

Referíais is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb referir. The infinitive referir means to refer, mention, relate, or to report something to someone, and it can also mean to refer to a source or to refer a patient to another professional in medical settings. The imperfect form expresses past habitual or ongoing action.

Grammatical notes: Referíais corresponds to the pronominal subject vosotros (you all). Its stem is refer-, with the imperfect endings for -ir verbs in Spanish: -íais for vosotros. The related forms include refería (él/ella/Ud.), referían (ellos/ellas/Uds.), and referíamos (nosotros). The verb can also appear in reflexive or pronominal constructions as referirse to something, meaning to relate oneself to a matter or to reference information.

Usage: In traditional Peninsular Spanish, referíais is common in informal, plural, past-tense narration. In modern Latin American usage, the vosotros form is typically replaced by ustedes, and the corresponding past is often conveyed with ustedes referían. In written or historical texts, referíais may appear to preserve dialectal or period-style speech.

Examples:

- Antes de la reunión, referíais varios casos similares.

- ¿Qué información referíais cuando se presentó el informe?

Etymology: The verb derive from Latin referre (to bring back, to report). See also referirse, referencia, referencias.
