admito

Admito is a verb form used in some Romance languages, most notably Spanish and Portuguese. In both languages, admito is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb admitir, meaning I admit or I acknowledge. The form derives from the Latin verb admittō, and in modern usage it functions as a finite verb indicating a current acknowledgment or concession.

In Spanish, admito is commonly used to admit fault, acknowledge a fact, or concede a point, as in Admito que cometí un error. In Portuguese, the same sense applies with Eu admito, such as Eu admito que errei. The form is typically used within statements where the speaker is taking responsibility or confirming a prior assertion.

Admito is not a separate lexical entry in English and does not function as a standalone noun in Spanish or Portuguese; it is strictly a verb form. The related infinitive is admitir, and other conjugated forms exist for different persons and tenses (admits, admitimos, admitirão, etc.). In other Romance languages, analogous verbs exist with different corresponding forms, for example ammetto in Italian or j’admets in French, which reflect similar meanings but distinct conjugation patterns.

Etymologically, admito traces to the Latin admittō, the root of admission and related terms across the Romance language family. Beyond its use in everyday speech, admito appears in formal or written contexts where speakers explicitly acknowledge a fact, fault, or admission.
