Asigné

Asigné is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb asignar in the pretérito indefinido (preterite), meaning I assigned or I designated. It is used to describe a completed action in the past in which something was allocated to a person or purpose.

Etymology: Asignar comes from Latin assignare, formed from ad “to” plus signare “to seal, mark,” reflecting the sense of designating or allocating.

Conjugation: As a regular -ar verb, the preterite forms are yo asigné, tú asignaste, él/ella/usted asignó, nosotros/as asignamos, vosotros/as asignasteis, ellos/as assigningaron. The form asigné specifically marks the first-person singular in this past tense.

Usage notes: Asigné signals a completed past action of assigning or designating something, such as tasks, responsibilities, resources, or roles. It is common in administrative, educational, and workplace contexts. The accent on é in asigné helps distinguish it from present-tense forms like asigno (I assign) and from other tenses that do not carry that accent.

Examples: “Ayer asigné las tareas a los estudiantes.” “El coordinador asignó un supervisor a cada equipo.” In both cases, the action of designating occurred in the past and is completed.
