superviséis

Superviséis is the second-person plural present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb supervisar. In Spain, it is used with the vosotros form in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood. It expresses wishes, doubts, possibilities, or obligations regarding the action of supervising. In many Spanish-speaking regions outside Spain, where the vosotros form is not used, the corresponding form is ustedes supervisen in present subjunctive.

Conjugation note: present subjunctive endings for -ar verbs are: yo supervise, tú supervises, él/ella supervise, nosotros supervisemos, vosotros superviséis, ellos/ellas supervisen. This contrasts with the indicative present forms, such as vosotros supervisáis.

Usage: Superviséis appears in clauses introduced by verbs or expressions that demand subjunctive. Common triggers include phrases like es necesario que, dudar que, quiero que, ojalá que, and es importante que. Examples include: “Espero que vosotros superviséis el proyecto,” and “Es posible que vosotros superviséis el rendimiento.”

Regional variation: In Latin America, where the vosotros form is not standard, speakers typically use ustedes supervisen, which corresponds to the third-person plural present subjunctive.

Etymology: Superviséis derives from the verb supervisar, which combines the prefix super- (over) with a root related to inspecting or overseeing. The form reflects the characteristic subjunctive endings of -ar verbs in the vosotros person.

Notes: Beyond its grammatical function, the form is mainly encountered in formal or instructional contexts, such as corporate, academic, or administrative Spanish, where subordinate clauses require the subjunctive mood.
