Analizzaste

Analizzaste is the Italian verb form of analizzare in the passato remoto, 2nd person plural. It means “you all analyzed” and is used mainly in literary or formal narrative to describe completed past actions performed by a group. In contemporary Italian, questo tempo is common in literature and historical writing, while in everyday speech speakers typically use the passato prossimo (voi avete analizzato) or the imperfect (voi analizzavate).

Conjugation and form: the stem is analyz- with the -gare verb endings, yielding analizzaste for the second person plural in the passato remoto. Other forms in the same tense include io analizzai, tu analizzaste, lui analizzò, noi analizzammo, essi analizzarono. Note that the infinitive analizzare ends with -zzare, so the stem preserves the double z, producing analizzaste.

Etymology and related forms: analizzare derives from analisi (analysis), through the influence of French analyser and the Latin/Greek roots related to breaking down or examining components. The term is cognate with similar verbs in other Romance languages that express the act of performing an analysis or examination.

Example: Voi analizzaste i dati e presentaste i risultati.
