omití

Omití is the first-person singular preterite form of the Spanish verb omitir, meaning to omit, leave out, or skip. The preterite expresses a completed action in the past, such as omitting a detail or information. The verb derives from the Latin omittere, from om- (away) and mittere (to send). Omitir is widely used in everyday speech, journalism, and literature across Spanish-speaking regions, and its forms appear in all standard Spanish conjugation patterns.

Conjugation and forms: omitir is a regular -ir verb. In the preterite, the forms are: yo omití, tú omitiste, él/ella/Ud. omitió, nosotros omitimos, vosotros omitisteis, ellos/ellas/Uds. omitieron. The key feature is the acute accent on the final syllable of the first-person singular. The past participle is omitido, used with haber to form compound tenses (he omitido, habías omitido, etc.). The present tense is omito.

Usage notes: omitir can imply intentionality or oversight when the omitted material is relevant. It commonly appears with phrases such as omití detalles or omití mencionar, and may also appear in passive constructions as se omitió. It is close in meaning to synonyms like excluir or dejar fuera, though omitir can carry a milder or more formal nuance depending on context. Example: "Ayer omití mencionar un detalle importante en mi informe."
