irritavi

Irritavi is a Latin verb form meaning “I irritated” or “I annoyed.” It is the first person singular perfect active indicative of irritare, a regular verb of the first conjugation meaning “to irritate, to provoke, to excite.” The base verb is irritare, with principal parts irrito, irritare, irritavi, irritatum. This places irritavi in the standard pattern of first-conjugation verbs and marks its perfect tense form.

In use, irritare is transitive and takes a direct object in the accusative. For example: Ego te irritavi means “I irritated you.” Hoc me irritavit means “That irritated me,” where hoc is a neuter demonstrative functioning as the subject and me is the direct object in the accusative.

Grammatical forms extend beyond irritavi to other tenses and voices of irritare. The present indicative is irrito, irritas, irritat, irritamus, irritatis, irritant; the imperfect is irritabam, irritabas, irritabat, etc. The perfect passive participle is irritatus (irradiated as masculine), used with forms of sum to form the passive or perfect passive constructions. The verb also has a present active or passive subjunctive (iritem, irritarem, etc.) and corresponding future and pluperfect forms.

Etymology and influence: irritare yields the English verb irritate, as well as related terms such as irritation and irritable. In Latin literature, irritare can convey literal annoyance or more figurative provocations, including arousing interest or fear depending on context.

Summary: irritavi is the standard perfect form of a common Latin verb meaning to irritate or provoke, typically used with a direct object and functioning within the broader irritare paradigm of the first conjugation.
