didicistis

Didicistis is a Latin verb form: the second-person plural perfect active indicative of discere, “to learn.” In Latin this form translates as “you learned” and, depending on context, “you have learned.” It belongs to the irregular perfect paradigm of disco; related forms include didici, didicisti, didicit, didicimus, didicistis, and didicerunt.

Formed from the stem didic- with the personal ending -istis, didicistis is active and denotes a completed action. It does not require an auxiliary verb in the Latin perfect. Like the other perfect forms of disco, its meaning can range from a simple past to a present-perfect sense depending on the narrative context and temporal frame.

Usage and examples: In classical Latin, didicistis appears in speeches, histories, and educational writings to indicate that a group has learned something. Example: Didicistis linguam Latinam optime. Translation: You (plural) have learned Latin very well. Another example: Quid didicistis hodie? Translation: What did you learn today? The form thus serves both factual reporting of past learning and, in some contexts, a completed educational achievement relevant to the surrounding discourse.
