subís

Subís is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb subir. It derives from Latin subire and shares the core meanings of subir, including to go up, to ascend, to raise, and in digital contexts to upload. The form is used with two different pronouns in distinct dialects: with vosotros in Spain and with vos in regions that practice voseo (notably parts of Argentina and Uruguay). In most of Latin America that uses ustedes instead of vosotros or vos, the corresponding form for “you all” is suben.

Morphology and pronunciation: subir is a regular -ir verb in the present tense. The forms are subo, subes, sube, subimos, subís, suben. The accent on í in subís marks the stress on the last syllable, distinguishing it from a hypothetical spelling without the accent. The same form subís occurs with vos in voseo dialects, where the pronoun changes but the verb ending remains the same.

Usage notes: Subís covers physical ascent (subir una escalera), ascent in a geographic sense (subir una colina), and gaining or increasing in a non-physical sense (subir el volumen, subir la tarifa). It also participates in reflexive constructions such as subirse, meaning to get onto or into something (subirse al coche).

Examples: Subís por esa escalera. ¿Subís el archivo al servidor? Subís el volumen. Reflejo: te subes a la bicicleta.
