percipis

Percipis is a Latin verb form: the second-person singular present indicative of percipio, meaning "you perceive" or "you grasp." Percipio is a compound of the prefix per- ("through," "thoroughly") and capio ("to take, seize"), and its basic sense is to take in fully, to perceive or apprehend. The principal parts of the lemma are percipio, percipere, percepi, perceptum, reflecting its status as a third-conjugation -io verb.

In classical Latin usage percipis would be used to address a single person and indicate that they perceive, feel, apprehend, or acquire knowledge of something. The verb takes an object in the accusative when referring to the thing perceived; in extended senses it can mean to experience or receive (for example, feelings or consequences). As with many Latin verbs, nuances of meaning depend on context and syntactic construction.

The root percip- has produced a range of descendants in modern Romance and Germanic languages and in English vocabulary. Words such as perceive, perception, perceptible, and perceptive ultimately derive from percipio/perceptum. Percipis itself is primarily of interest within studies of Latin grammar, classical texts, and historical linguistics.
