soñabais

Soñabais is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb soñar, which means "to dream". In English, it translates to "you all were dreaming" or "you all used to dream". This verb tense, the imperfect indicative, is used to describe ongoing actions, habitual actions, or states of being in the past without a specific beginning or end. Therefore, soñabais evokes a sense of continuous or repeated dreaming by a group of people in the past.

For example, if one were to say "Vosotros soñabais con viajar" (You all were dreaming of traveling), it suggests a past state where the group frequently or continuously harbored thoughts of traveling. The imperfect tense here is crucial for conveying this sense of duration or habit, distinguishing it from a single, completed past action. The "-bais" ending specifically marks it as the second-person plural, addressing a group referred to as "vosotros" in Spain, or a similar plural informal address in other Spanish-speaking regions. The verb's root "soñar" is related to the concept of dreams, both literal sleep-induced visions and figurative aspirations or hopes.
