sintáis

Sintáis is the second-person plural presente de subjuntivo form of the Spanish verb sentir, meaning “you all feel” or “you all sense.” It is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood when the subject is vosotros. The form reflects an irregular stem in the present subjunctive: the yo form is sienta, tú sientas, él sienta, nosotros sintamos, vosotros sintáis, ellos sientan. In most forms the stem is sient-, but the vosotros and nosotros forms use sint- (sintáis, sintamos).

Usage and function: Sintáis appears in contexts that express doubt, emotion, possibility, necessity, desire, or after certain expressions that trigger the subjunctive. It typically follows a phrase introducing a subordinate clause with que, as in: Es posible que sintáis nervios antes del examen. Espero que sintáis libertad de elegir. The exact meaning is “you all feel” within a hypothetical, desired, or non-factual frame.

Regional variation: In many Spanish dialects outside Spain, the vosotros form is not used, and the corresponding second-person plural subjunctive is formed with ustedes (they/you all). In such varieties, the present subjunctive for ustedes is sientan, not sintáis. For example: Espero que ustedes sientan lo mismo.

Pronunciation: sintáis is typically pronounced [sinˈtais], with the stress on the final syllable. It is easy to confuse with sentís (present indicative vosotros form) and sentáis (another variant of the subjunctive in some dialects), so context and mood are important for clarity.
