Enfadaste

Enfadaste is not a standard entry in Spanish dictionaries. In most normative references, the correct second-person singular preterite form of the pronominal verb enfadarse is te enfadaste, and the non-reflexive preterite form for the related verb enfadar is enfadaste. Because of the similarity to enfadaste, enfadaste is sometimes encountered in informal writing or in nonstandard texts, but it is generally regarded as a misspelling or a digitization error rather than a recognized form of the verb.

Enfadarse is a pronominal verb meaning “to get angry” or “to become annoyed,” formed from enfadar (to anger) plus the reflexive pronoun se. The standard conjugation in the preterite for tú is te enfadaste, while the corresponding non-reflexive form enfadaste exists in the related verb enfadar as a past tense for “you angered” someone or something. In everyday speech, speakers often use related verbs such as enojarse (to get angry) and phrases like “te enfadaste” or “te enojas” to convey the idea of becoming upset.

Usage notes include that enfadarse and its forms are common in both Spain and Latin America, with regional preferences for synonyms such as enojarse or irritarse. Writers and editors typically correct enfadaste to enfadaste or to te enfadaste depending on the intended reflexive usage. When documenting language in a wiki context, enfadaste is typically described as an incorrect or nonstandard form rather than a separate lexical entry.
