fortalecisteis

Fortaleciste is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb fortalecer in the pretérito indefinido (pretérito simple). It translates to you strengthened in English and is used to describe a completed action in the past in which something or someone was made stronger or more resilient. As a form of fortalecer, fortaleciste can refer to physical strengthening, improved capabilities, or fortified conditions.

Morphology and conjugation: The form is built from the stem fortalec- and the standard endings of -er verbs in the tú form, which are -iste. The full preterite conjugation for fortalecer in this person is: fortalecí, fortaleciste, fortaleció, fortalecimos, fortalecisteis, fortalecieron. Among these, fortaleciste corresponds to the second-person singular. Note that the yo form carries an accent (fortalecí) and the él/ella/Ud. form carries an accent (fortaleció).

Usage: Fortaleciste is used in past narratives to indicate a completed action of making something stronger, whether physical, like muscles or infrastructure, or more abstract, like a skill or a relationship. It commonly appears in narrative recounting, descriptions of past training, or reports of improvements resulting from effort or intervention.
