supervisasteis

Supervisasteis is the second-person plural preterite form of the Spanish verb supervisar, used with the pronoun vosotros. It denotes a completed action in the past: “you all supervised.” The form is part of the regular -ar verb paradigm in the preterite tense.

Morphology and conjugation context: For regular -ar verbs in the preterite, the endings are -é, -aste, -ó, -amos, -asteis, -aron. Therefore, supervisar in the preterite yields: yo supervisé, tú supervisaste, él/ella/usted supervisó, nosotros supervisamos, vosotros supervisasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes supervisaron. The specific ending -asteis attaches to the stem supervis- to form supervisasteis.

Regional usage: The vosotros forms, including supervisasteis, are standard in Spain and in some parts of the world where the vosotros variant is maintained. In most Latin American dialects, where vosotros is not used in everyday speech, the corresponding past action is typically expressed with ustedes and the third-person plural preterite: supervisaron.

Examples: A sentence using the form might be “Ayer vosotros supervisasteis la producción y reportasteis los resultados.” In contrast, in a Latin American variety you would more likely hear “Ayer ustedes supervisaron la producción.”

Etymology and scope: The term stems from the verb supervisar, which originates from Latin roots related to supervising or overseeing. The form supervisasteis is specifically tied to the una-plural vosotros form in the preterite and does not have a direct counterpart in the ustedes form, aside from the regional variation noted above.
