oid, temeis

Question

Buenos Dias Senor Gutierrez.
Would you please (if you could) explain to me the meanings of these two words. I can't find them in the dictionary and I don't understand the meaning completely. Temeis has a line over the second "e".

Answer 1

Thanks for the corrections, látigo. I actually had looked up "oid" in the site conjugator to be sure it was correct . . . turns out our site conjugator is wrong again. (Help!!)

Here it is from the RAE. (I can't get the link to work correctly. Click on "oír" and then on the little "Conjugar" button.

Allow me to add a few things: remember that the affirmative vosotros command has an accent on the i in order to destroy the diphthong= oíd, my other point is that mis-spelliing= misspelling with no hyphen. The mis is just a prefix

Answer 3

vosotros is "you" in the familiar plural form, as used in Spain. Most Latin-American countries just use "Ustedes," which is plural polite form.

Vosotros form? Is that a certain spanish language form? Is there an easier spanish bible form to read that you recommend.

Answer 4

See this (for what it´s worth)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reina-Valera

Personally, I find the Nueva Versión Internacional easier to read (especially, because the NIV English translation is a very close match and I can look there when I´m stuck). However, you may find that Reina Valera is the "accepted" version in some churches, similar to the KJV in English. But we're off topic . . .

The "vosotros" form is the 2nd person familiar plural form just as "tú" is the 2nd person familiar singlular form.

Answer 8

That's actually how I learned to recognize vosotros form . . . enjoy! And remember that vosotros form is still used in Spain, although not in most Latin-American countries.

Thank you Natasha, I thought that was the case but I wasn't sure. I like confirmation. I am finding these words in the Reina Valera 1960 Bible, and I am finding that there are words the are not used, pronounced, or spelled in that way anymore.

Answer 10

oid is the vosotros imperative form of the verb oír. teméis is the present indicative, vosotros form, of the verb temer. You can look oír and temer up in the dictionary.

Also, in the future, please include the complete sentence you´re asking about when making a post. Thanks!

Answer 11

teméis is 2nd person plural of temer(to fear or dread) in spain. Oid could be a mis-spelling of oír (to hear)
