Irrigrierst

Irrigrierst is the second-person singular present tense form of the German verb irrigieren and means you irrigate. It is used when addressing someone informally with the pronoun du, to describe the act of applying water to land or plants.

The verb irrigieren belongs to the family of terms for watering and irrigation. Its sense centers on delivering water to soil, crops, gardens, or green spaces in order to promote growth, prevent drought stress, or support landscape maintenance. The concept is closely linked to agricultural and horticultural practices, as well as to larger water-management systems such as irrigation canals, pumps, sprinklers, and drip irrigation setups. The noun corresponding to the process in German is Bewässerung.

Usage and register: Irrigieren is common in technical, agricultural, and gardening contexts. In formal or written communication, the polite form using Sie (Sie irrigieren) is used when addressing someone respectfully. In everyday speech with peers or workers, du irrigierst appears in appropriate contexts. Regional or procedural texts may describe specific irrigation methods, schedules, or equipment.

Etymology and related terms: Irrigieren is a loanword from French irriguer, via Latin irrigare, reflecting the historical diffusion of irrigation terminology across European languages. Related German terms include Bewässerung (irrigation, watering) and Begriffe wie Bewässerungssysteme, Tropfbewässerung and Sprinkleranlagen, which describe concrete methods and technologies for delivering water to plants.
