Transferí

Transferí is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb transferir in the preterite tense. It is used to describe a completed action of transferring something in the past. Transferir means to move, send, or relocate something from one place or entity to another, such as money, files, or calls.

Usage examples include: “Ayer transferí el dinero a mi cuenta” (Yesterday I transferred the money to my account) and “Yo transferí la llamada al departamento correspondiente” (I transferred the call to the relevant department). In narrative writing, transferí typically marks a specific past event of moving or sending something.

Conjugation notes: In the preterite tense, the forms for transferir include yo transferí, tú transferiste, él transfirió, nosotros transferimos, vosotros transferisteis, and ellos transfirieron. The yo form carries an accent on the í, and the third-person forms transfirió and transfirieron reflect irregular vowel changes common to -ir verbs with stem modifications in the preterite.

Etymology: transferí and transferir come from the Latin transferre, formed from trans- “across” + ferre “to bear” or carry. The meaning in modern Spanish preserves the sense of moving something from one place, person, or system to another.
