admití

Admití is the first-person singular form in the pretérito indefinido (simple past) of the Spanish verb admitir. The verb admitir has several related senses, including to allow entry or to receive (for example, a patient into a hospital, a member into a club), to acknowledge or confess (to admit a fault or mistake), and to include or accept something within a group or list. Admitting can be used with or without an explicit object or clause: adit It haya sido un error to admit that one lied, or admitir a alguien en una organización.

The verb admitir itself comes from Latin admittere, formed from ad- “toward” + mittere “to send, to let go.” In Spanish, admitir is a regular -ir verb, so its pretérito indefinido forms follow the standard endings: admití, admitiste, admitió, admitimos, admitisteis, admitieron. These forms carry stress marks in several forms (for example, admití and admitió) to indicate pronunciation. The endings are the same as those of most other regular -ir verbs in the same tense.

Usage notes and examples: admití la culpa ayer means “I admitted the fault yesterday.” The verb can take a direct object when referring to admitting someone into a group or institution (lo admitieron en el club, “they admitted him to the club”). It can also be used with a clause beginning with que to express a confession (admití que dije una mentira, “I admitted that I said a lie”). The choice between senses depends on context, with connotations ranging from permission and inclusion to acknowledgement and confession.
