Vollbrachtest

Vollbrachtest is the second-person singular simple past tense (Präteritum) form of the German verb vollbringen. Vollbringen means to accomplish, achieve, or bring to completion. The verb is formed from the prefix voll- and the verb bringen (to bring); in the Präteritum the stem becomes vollbrach-, and the personal ending -test yields vollbrachtest for du.

Usage and context: The form vollbrachtest is primarily found in written or formal narrative and is less common in everyday speech, where the perfect tense geschrieben with haben is often preferred (du hast vollbracht). The Präteritum form is used to describe completed actions in the past within descriptive or historical contexts.
