toméis

Tomáis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb tomar. It is used when addressing a group informally in Spain and translates as “you all take” or “you all drink,” depending on the context. Because tomar has senses of both taking possession and consuming, tomáis can describe either action.

Regional usage varies: tomáis is standard in Spain for informal plural address (vosotros form). In most of Latin America, the vosotros forms are uncommon, and speakers use ustedes toman instead. As a result, tomáis is rarely heard outside Spain, though it may appear in literature or dialogue to convey regional character.

Pronunciation-wise, tomáis is typically spoken as to-MAIS, with the emphasis on the syllable mais. The acute accent on the a marks this stress.

Grammatical note: tomar is a regular -ar verb. Present indicative forms are: tomo, tomas, toma, tomamos, tomáis, toman.

Example sentences: Tomáis café todas las mañanas. ¿Qué tomáis para comer? In regions where ustedes is used, the corresponding forms are Ustedes toman café todas las mañanas; ¿Qué toman para comer?
