Transmitiste

Transmitiste is the second-person singular preterite form of the Spanish verb transmitir, meaning “you transmitted” or “you broadcast,” depending on context. It is used to describe a completed action in the past with an informal tú subject, and is common in spoken and written Spanish.

Etymology and morphology: Transmitirte derives from Latin transmittĕre (trans- across + mittere to send). In the preterite, -ir verbs like transmitir use the ending -iste for tú, giving transmitiste. The related forms include transmití (yo), transmitió (él/ella/usted), transmitimos (nosotros), transmitisteis (vosotros), and transmitieron (ellos/ellas/ustedes).

Usage notes: The tú form “transmitiste” appears in narrative past tense when the subject is informal you. In formal writing or when using the pronoun usted, the corresponding form is “transmitió” (usted) or “transmitió” (él/ella). The word can apply to transmitting information, signals, media, or other material, e.g., “Ayer transmitiste la información con claridad” or “¿Qué mensaje transmitiste durante la conferencia?”

Related terms: The noun related is transmisión. Synonyms in Spanish include emitir, difundir, enviar, depending on nuance. The English equivalent is “to transmit.”
