asignas

Asignas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb asignar, meaning to assign, allocate, or designate something to someone. It is used when the subject is you (tú) in the present tense and is common in everyday speech and informal writing. The corresponding forms in the full conjugation of asignar include asigne, asignas, asigna, asignamos, asignáis, and asignan.

In usage, as when you say “Tú asignas tareas cada semana,” the verb denotes the act of assigning or designating tasks, resources, roles, or responsibilities. It is transitive, typically taking a direct object such as tareas, presupuestos, roles, or permisos. In regions that use voseo, the form for vos is asigNás with an accent (asignás), though standard Spanish generally uses asignas for tú.

Etymology and related forms: the verb derives from Latin assignare, formed from ad- plus signare, meaning to mark or designate. Related nouns include asignación (the act of assigning or an assigned item) and adjectives such as asignado (assigned). Related verbs in the same semantic field include designar and distribuir.

Contexts and nuances: asignar is used across domains—from everyday tasks to administrative, educational, and computing contexts—where resources, permissions, or responsibilities are allocated. In computing or IT, it appears in phrases like asignar memoria or asignar permisos, reflecting its broad applicability beyond human tasks.
