Synchronisiertet

Synchronisiertet is a form of the German verb synchronisieren, used as the simple past (Präteritum) second-person plural. It means "you all synchronized" or "you all did synchronize." In standard written German, this explicit form is typically found with an explicit subject, as in: Ihr synchronisiertet die Uhren.

In everyday spoken German, the Perfekt is far more common for finite past actions, so one would more often hear ihr habt die Uhren synchronisiert rather than ihr synchronisiertet die Uhren. The Präteritum of regular verbs like synchronisieren is still used in formal writing, historical narratives, and literature, but its use with the second-person plural is less frequent in casual speech.

Morphology and related forms: synchronisiertet is the Präteritum ending for the second-person plural of the verb synchronisieren. The base verb synchronisieren means to synchronize. Related forms include synchronisierte (simple past, singular and plural), ich synchronisiere (present), wir synchronisieren (present), and synchronisierung (noun form meaning synchronization). The present perfect, used in speech and most informal writing, is haben + synchronisiert (ich habe synchronisiert).

Orthography and usage notes: In standard German, the pronoun ihr is typically used with this form: ihr synchronisiertet. When the subject is omitted, the finite verb form still functions as the past tense, but it is normally understood from context. As with many German past tenses, the Präteritum with ihr is less common in everyday conversation and more common in written narratives.
