engendraste

Engendraste is a verb conjugation in the Spanish language. It is the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb "engendrar." The verb "engendrar" translates to "to engender," "to beget," or "to generate" in English. Therefore, "engendraste" means "you engendered," "you begot," or "you generated."

This verb form is used to describe an action that occurred and was completed in the past, specifically by the person being addressed in the singular "you" form (tú). For example, one might say "Tú engendraste una idea brillante," which translates to "You generated a brilliant idea." The preterite tense is typically used for completed actions in the past, distinguishing it from other past tenses like the imperfect which describes ongoing or habitual actions. The verb "engendrar" itself can refer to the literal act of procreation or, more figuratively, to the creation or origination of something abstract like a concept, a feeling, or a situation.
