Esperéesperasteesperó

Esperéesperasteesperó is a concatenation of three regular forms of the Spanish verb esperar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past): esperé (I waited), esperaste (you waited), and esperó (he/she/you waited). The unspaced string is not a standard word in Spanish; it is a linguistic curiosity or teaching example that highlights how the same verb stem combines with different person endings in the preterite.

Morphology and formation: Esperar is a regular -ar verb. In the pretérito indefinido, the endings are -é for yo, -aste for tú, and -ó for él/ella/usted. Therefore, esperé, esperaste, and esperó share the stem esper- with distinct person endings, and the accent marks indicate pronunciation and tense.

Usage and significance: As a single unspaced sequence, the string carries no independent meaning in Spanish. It may appear in discussions of verb conjugation, in puzzles, or as a didactic illustration of regular -ar verb endings in the past tense. In normal prose, the forms would be used separately, with appropriate punctuation.
