sentéis

Sentáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb sentar, used with the vosotros subject to address a group in informal contexts in Spain. It means “you all sit” or “you all are sitting.” When used with the reflexive pronoun os, as in os sentáis, it means “you all sit down.”

Conjugation and form: In the present indicative, sentar shows a stem change from e to ie in most forms, including sentáis. The standard present indicative forms for this verb include: yo siento, tú sientes, él sienta, nosotros sentamos, vosotros sentáis, ellos sientan. The present subjunctive for vosotros is sentéis.

Regional variation and usage: The vosotros forms, including sentáis, are common in Spain and some regional communities. In most of Latin America, where the vosotros form is not used, the equivalent present tense is formed with ustedes; for example, ustedes se sientan (you all sit down) or you may encounter ustedes sienten in other senses related to sentir, not sentar.

Notes: Sentáis is part of a family of verbs with stem changes in the present tense and interacts with whether the action is transitive (to seat someone) or reflexive (to sit down oneself). Usage examples illustrate both senses, such as Vosotros os sentáis en la mesa (You all sit down at the table) or ¿Ya os sentáis? (Have you all sat down yet?).
