Redirigisteis

Redirigisteis is the second-person plural preterite (or simple past) form of the Spanish verb redirigir, meaning to redirect or direct again. It corresponds to “you redirected” when speaking to a group in the informal, familiar form used in Spain and other regions that employ the vosostros form.

Conjugation context and forms: redirigisteis is one of the six standard forms of the preterite for redirigir. The full preterite paradigm is: yo redirigí, tú redirigiste, él/ella/usted redirigió, nosotros redirigimos, vosotros redirigisteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes redirigieron. The vosotros form is used in contexts where the interlocutors are addressed informally as a group.

Usage and regional variation: Redirigisteis is most commonly encountered in Spain, where the vosostros form is standard. In Latin American Spanish, where the vosostros form is uncommon, speakers typically use ustedes redirigieron (they redirected) or, when addressing a group informally, rely on alternative constructions. The verb redirigir itself is transitive and takes a direct object: it can refer to redirecting a webpage, a traffic route, a shipment, a conversation, or any situation involving directing something to another route or destination.

Etymology and nuance: Redirigir is a prefixed verb formed from re- (again) + dirigir (to direct). The preterite redirigisteis reflects regular -ir verb endings with the standard stem change associated with redirigir in the preterite, including the irregular third-person forms redirigió and redirigieron.
