valoráis

valoráis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb valorar. Valorar means to value, to assess or to appreciate, and also to rate or judge the value, quality, or importance of something. The form valoráis is used with the vosotros form of you all, which is common in Spain and in some regional varieties that preserve the vosotros conjugation. In most Latin American varieties, the corresponding form for ustedes is valoran or you all value. Other present indicative forms of valorar are: valoro (yo), valoras (tú), valora (él/ella/usted), valoramos (nosotros), valoran (ellos/ellas/ustedes). The infinitive is valorar; related nouns include valor (value, worth) and valoración (valuation or assessment).

Etymology and usage notes: valorar derives from valor, meaning value or worth, with the verb-forming suffix -ar. The word is commonly used in contexts of evaluating price, quality, or importance, as well as in expressing appreciation or esteem. It appears in sentences such as “Valoráis la honestidad de ese candidato” or “Valoramos mucho la puntualidad en el trabajo.” Because it is part of the vosotros paradigm, valoráis is primarily encountered in Spain and regions where the vosotros form is standard; in contexts addressed to a group with ustedes, the verb form changes to valoran.
