Omitías

Omitías is the second-person singular imperfect indicative form of the Spanish verb omitir, meaning “you used to omit” or “you were omitting.” It is used to describe habitual or ongoing omissions in the past.

In the imperfect tense, the verb omitir follows the regular pattern for -ir verbs. The full imperfect conjugation is: yo omitía, tú omitías, él omitía, nosotros omitíamos, vosotros omitíais, ellos omitían. Thus omitías specifically marks a past ongoing action directed at “you” (informal singular).

Usage of omitías typically conveys actions that occurred repeatedly or were in progress in the past, without specifying a definite endpoint. It may appear in narratives, explanations, or descriptions of past habits, routines, or states related to omitting information, details, or items. Examples include: “Tú omitías ciertos detalles en tus informes,” meaning “You used to omit certain details in your reports,” and “Cuando eras joven, omitías responder preguntas incómodas,” meaning “When you were younger, you were omitting answering uncomfortable questions.”

Etymology traces omitír to the Latin omittere, meaning to send away or to omit, with the Spanish verb evolving through Old Spanish into the modern form. The imperfect ending -ías matches standard inflection for second-person singular in the imperfect of -ir verbs.
