erigí

Erigí is the first-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb erigir, meaning to erect, raise, or establish. It denotes a completed action in the past, typically referring to something the speaker personally erected or established.

Etymology: The verb erigir comes from Latin erigere, and has cognates in other Romance languages, such as French ériger and Portuguese ergir. The form erigí reflects the regular preterite ending for -gir verbs in Spanish.

Usage: Erigí is used in narrative or formal writing to describe past acts of construction or establishment performed by the speaker. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable in isolation and helps preserve correct pronunciation when conjugated with other morphemes.

Examples: Ayer erigí un monumento en la plaza mayor. En mi informe, erigí una nueva sede para la organización.
