Supisti

Supisti is a Latin verb form rather than a standalone word or lemma. It represents the second-person singular in the perfect (or perfective) active indicative, a common ending pattern in Latin for completed actions. In Latin, many verbs form the second-person singular perfect with the ending -isti, attached to the verb’s perfect stem. Because supisti can arise from multiple verbs’ stems, its precise meaning depends on the specific verb it derives from (for example, a verb meaning “to take up,” “to say,” or “to see” would yield different translations in context).

As a form, supisti is analyzed morphologically as:

- voice: active

- mood: indicative

- tense: perfect

- person: second

- number: singular

In practice, supisti would typically appear in a sentence where the subject is either implied by context or explicitly stated, and the object or action is defined by the governing verb. The exact rendering in English depends on the lemma:

- you took up

- you have taken

- you did X (where X is the action of the related verb)

Because Latin inflection is highly context-dependent, supisti cannot be understood in isolation. It is most reliably interpreted by identifying the verb it belongs to and examining its principal parts. In Latin grammars, this form is described within the discussion of perfect tense formation and second-person singular endings, rather than as a stand-alone entry. Supisti may also appear in late Latin texts or manuscript variants where orthographic or scribal practices influence spelling.
