praeparavistis

Praeparavistis is a Latin verb form. It is the second-person plural perfect active indicative of the verb praeparare, meaning to prepare or to prepare in advance. The prefix prae- conveys forward or beforehand, and the stem parav- comes from parare (to prepare). The ending -istis marks the second person plural in the perfect tense. Therefore, praeparavistis translates commonly as "you prepared" or, depending on context, "you have prepared." In classical Latin, the perfect tense expresses a completed action in the past; in English, the translation may be simple past or present perfect depending on temporal context and aspect.

The form is part of standard Latin conjugation patterns for first-conjugation verbs with perfect active endings. It is appropriate in prose and poetry, especially when referring to actions completed by "you" (plural). The usage is not tied to any specific domain; it occurs in historical, narrative, and general instructional texts as needed.

Example: Praeparavistis epistulam. — You prepared the letter. This illustrates the typical word order where the verb carries the person and number endings, and the object (epistulam) follows the verb. Praeparavistis is one of several forms in the praeparare paradigm used to describe completed actions by a group in the past.
