This is the 740th most frequent French word.
êtes
"Êtes" means "are" (second person plural form of "être").
In this sentence, 'êtes' is used as the second person plural present tense form of 'être' (to be), addressing someone politely or a group.
Vous êtes très aimable.
You are very kind.
Here, 'êtes' is again the second person plural of 'être', used in a question to confirm someone's presence.
Est-ce que vous êtes ici pour la réunion?
Are you here for the meeting?
In this example, 'êtes' serves as the linking verb in a passive construction, indicating the state of being invited.
