subrayáis

Subrayáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb subrayar. Subrayar means to underline, to highlight, or to emphasize. Therefore, subrayáis translates to "you all underline," "you all highlight," or "you all emphasize" when addressing a group of people in a formal or informal context in Spain.

In Spanish grammar, the ending "-áis" is characteristic of the first conjugation verbs (verbs ending in -ar) in the second-person plural present indicative. This form is used when the subject of the sentence is "vosotros" or "vosotras," which are the informal plural pronouns for "you" in Spain. For example, "Vosotros subrayáis las palabras importantes en el texto" means "You all underline the important words in the text."

The verb subrayar itself is derived from the prefix "sub-" meaning "under" and the Latin word "lineare" meaning "to draw a line." Its usage is common in educational settings for students to mark key information in their notes or textbooks. It can also be used metaphorically to stress a point or an idea in spoken or written discourse. The form subrayáis specifically refers to the action being performed by "vosotros" or "vosotras."
