admittis

Admittis is a Latin verb form that means you admit or you let in. It is the second-person singular present active indicative form of the verb admitto, a third-conjugation verb meaning to admit, permit, receive, or allow. As a present tense form, admittis carries the sense of a current or general action carried out by the person addressed.

Morphology and usage. The form admittis is built from the present stem admitt- plus the active second-person singular ending -is. In a sentence, the subject tu (you) is often implied, so admittis translates as “you admit.” For example, in classical Latin one might say, Tu admittis multos homines, meaning you admit many people. The same verb root yields related forms such as admittit (he/she/it admits), admittunt (they admit), and its passive counterpart admittitur (he/she/it is admitted).

Etymology and meaning. Admittis derives from ad- “toward” and mitto “to send” or “to let go,” reflecting the broader sense of permitting or allowing something to occur or to enter. Over time, the semantic range expanded to include admitting people, claims, or things into a place, group, or system.

Related forms and usage notes. Admittis is part of the broader verb admitto, which appears in both everyday and formal Latin. In different tenses and voices, the same root yields forms used to describe admission actions across a variety of contexts, from granting access to a building to recognizing a claim or authority.
