Incurrió

Incurrir is a Spanish verb meaning to incur, to become liable for something, especially costs, penalties, or obligations. Incurrió is the third-person singular form in the simple past (preterite) tense, used to indicate that someone incurred something in a completed past action. The verb is commonly used with phrases such as incurrir gastos, incurrir en deudas, o incurrir en responsabilidades.

Etymology and usage

Incurrir comes from Latin incurere, literally “to run into.” In Spanish, it retains the sense of entering into or bringing about an obligation or liability. The preterite incurrió indicates a past event in which the subject ended up bearing a cost, penalty, or responsibility. The construction with direct objects like gastos (expenses) or deudas (debts) is standard, while “incurrir en” can appear in contexts emphasizing entering into a situation or penalties.
