termináis

Termináis is a verb form in Spanish. It is the second-person plural present indicative of terminar, meaning you finish or you all finish. The form is used with the pronoun vosotros, which is common in Spain and in some regional varieties; in many Latin American varieties, vosotros is uncommon and terminar is paired with ustedes, producing terminan.

Conjugation and characteristics: For regular -ar verbs in the present indicative, the endings are -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an. Thus vosotros termináis is formed from the stem termin- plus the ending -áis, with the accent mark on í to indicate the stressed syllable. This is different from the present subjunctive form terminéis, which has the same stem but a different ending and accent.

Usage and examples: Termináis is used to address a group informally in Spain. It can refer to finishing an action or completing a task. Examples: Termináis la tarea antes de cenar. ¿Termináis de comer? Termináis el informe hoy, ¿verdad? In contexts where ustedes is used instead of vosotros, the corresponding present indicative is terminan.

Related forms and notes: Termináis is part of the regular -ar verb conjugation. Related forms include termináis in the present indicative with vosotros, terminéis in the present subjunctive, terminad in the imperative, and terminasteis in the preterite. The verb terminare in Latin originated from terminare, meaning to set a boundary or to finish.
