grita

Grita is the present tense form of the Spanish verb gritar, meaning to shout, yell, or cry out. It corresponds to the third-person singular present indicative (él/ella/usted grita) and to the informal second-person singular imperative (tú grita). The verb gritar is regular within the -ar conjugation, with present tense forms such as grito, gritas, grita, gritamos, gritáis, gritán, and analogous forms in other tenses.

In usage, grita is used to describe someone shouting in the moment or to give an exhortation to shout. For example: “La multitud grita cuando el equipo marca” and “¡Grita más alto para que te escuchen!” The related noun grito denotes a shout or scream and shares the same linguistic root.

Etymology and related forms: gritar derives from Latin origins, with the noun grito forming from the same root. The present tense form grita is a common everyday word in Spanish and appears in both narration and dialogue to convey sound, volume, or emphasis.

Other notes: When capitalized as Grita, the term may appear as a proper noun in some contexts, such as place names or surnames, though such uses are limited and depend on specific regional conventions. In standard Spanish, however, grita is primarily recognized as a verb form.
