berührtet

Berührtet is a German word that functions as a verb. It is the second-person plural imperfect (past tense) indicative form of the verb berühren. The verb berühren generally translates to "to touch" or "to affect" in English. Therefore, "berührtet" specifically means "you (plural) touched" or "you (plural) affected."

The imperfect tense in German is used to describe actions that were ongoing or habitual in the past, or simply to narrate past events. When addressing a group of people, the second-person plural pronoun "ihr" is used, and the verb conjugation changes accordingly. "Berührtet" is the form that corresponds to "ihr."

For example, a sentence like "Ihr berührtet die Statue vorsichtig" translates to "You (plural) touched the statue carefully." Another example could be "Die Geschichte berührtet uns tief" which translates to "The story affected us (plural) deeply." The context of the sentence will determine whether the meaning is literal touching or a more figurative affect. The word is relatively common in German literature and everyday speech when referring to past actions involving a group of people.
