encareceste

Encareceste is a Spanish verb, specifically the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb encarecer. Encarecer generally means to raise the price of something, to make something more expensive, or to emphasize something, to make it more intense or solemn. Therefore, "encareceste" translates to "you made more expensive" or "you emphasized" in the past tense.

The verb encarecer itself derives from the adjective "encarecido," which means expensive or dear. In the context of prices, "encareciste" would be used to describe a situation where someone, addressing another person directly, increased the cost of an item or service. For example, "Tú encareciste el producto" would mean "You made the product more expensive."

Beyond its literal meaning related to cost, "encarecer" can also be used figuratively to express the act of intensifying or greatly valuing something. In this sense, "encareciste tu petición" could mean "you made your request more emphatic" or "you pleaded earnestly." The specific nuance of "encareciste" would depend on the surrounding context of the sentence. It's a verb that highlights an action of increase, whether in monetary value or emotional intensity, performed by the subject ("you") in the past.
