dirigis

Dirigis is a Latin verb form, not a standalone noun. It is the second-person singular present active indicative of dirigere, a third-conjugation verb meaning to direct, guide, or manage. The infinitive is dirigere, and the principal parts are dirigere, direxi, directum. As a present-tense form, dirigis corresponds to the English “you direct.”

Grammatical role and usage: Dirigis functions with a direct object to specify what is being steered, guided, or managed. Because Latin word order is flexible, the subject you (tu) is often implied by the ending, so it can appear with or without a stated subject pronoun. The form is commonly found in classical Latin texts in contexts such as giving instructions, directing actions, or describing leadership and administration.

Examples: Rem dirigis ad finem. (You direct the matter toward the end.) Quomodo rem dirigis? (How do you direct the matter?) These illustrate the typical transitive use with a direct object in the accusative.

Classification and related forms: As a present active form, dirigis is part of a broader verb paradigm that includes other persons and tenses, such as dirigis in the present system and related forms like dirigit (he directs) and dirigunt (they direct). The passive counterpart is dirigeris (you are directed). The verb itself appears in Latin literature and is encountered in both historical and scholastic contexts.

Summary: Dirigis exemplifies a common present-tense form of a versatile Latin verb meaning to direct or guide, utilized with a direct object to indicate what is being directed, and it appears across a range of Latin texts from classical to medieval.
