pediste

Pediste is the second-person singular form in the preterite tense of the Spanish verb pedir, meaning to ask for or to request. It is used when addressing someone informally with the pronoun tú to indicate a completed action in the past.

Pedir derives from Latin petere, meaning to seek or ask. In modern Spanish, pedir is irregular in some preterite forms: the third-person forms show a stem change (pidió, pidieron), while the second-person singular form remains pediste. The full preterite conjugation is: yo pedí, tú pediste, él pidió, nosotros pedimos, vosotros pedisteis, ellos pidieron.

Usage notes and examples: Pediste expresses asking for something that happened in the past and can cover a wide range of requests, from food and favors to information. Examples: ¿Qué pediste para cenar? Ayer pediste un favor a tu jefe. Tú pediste disculpas por el retraso.
