Breakdown of Vosotros sois inteligentes.
Questions & Answers about Vosotros sois inteligentes.
What exactly does Vosotros mean?
Vosotros is the plural informal "you" (like "you all" or "you guys"). It is used in Spain to address a group of people you are familiar with. If the group is entirely female, you would use vosotras instead. Why is the verb sois used here?
Sois is the specific form of the verb ser (to be) that goes with vosotros or vosotras. It means "you all are". Can I leave out the word Vosotros and just say Sois inteligentes?
Yes, you can! Because sois is only ever used with vosotros or vosotras, it is perfectly clear who you are talking about. Spanish speakers often drop the subject pronoun. Why does inteligentes have an -s at the end?
In Spanish, adjectives have to match the number of the people they describe. Since vosotros is plural (more than one person), you must add an -s to the singular word inteligente. If this sentence was about a group of women (Vosotras), would inteligentes change to inteligentas?
No, it stays exactly the same. Adjectives that end in -e, like inteligente, do not change to match masculine or feminine groups. You only need to add the -s to make it plural. Learn Vosotros sois inteligentes and more in Spanish
