engañabas

Engañabas is a Spanish verb, the imperfect indicative form of the verb engañar. It translates to "you used to deceive" or "you were deceiving." This tense, the imperfect, is used to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past, or to set a scene. Therefore, engañabas would refer to a past action of deception or trickery that was happening repeatedly or over a period of time, or describing a state of being that was true in the past.

The verb engañar itself means to deceive, trick, fool, or betray. It can be used in various contexts, from small white lies to significant acts of infidelity or betrayal. The specific nuance of engañabas would depend on the surrounding sentences and the overall context of the conversation or text. For example, "Tú me engañabas con tus palabras" could mean "You were deceiving me with your words" or "You used to deceive me with your words." The imperfect tense suggests that this deception was a pattern of behavior in the past, rather than a single, completed event. It implies a continuous or repeated action.
