predijisteis

Predijisteis is the second-person plural form in the pretérito indefinido (simple past) of the Spanish verb predecir, meaning “to predict.” It denotes a completed action in the past and is part of the irregular group of -ducir verbs in this tense, which use the predij- stem.

Conjugation and forms: The full preterite conjugation of predecir is: yo predije, tú predijiste, él/ella/usted predijo, nosotros predijimos, vosotros predijisteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes predijeron. The form predijisteis corresponds to the vosotros form, used in Spain. In many Latin American dialects, the vosotras/vosotros forms are less common in everyday speech, with ustedes predijeron used for past actions involving “you all.”

Usage: Predijisteis is used to describe past predictions made by a group addressed as vosotros. It can appear with direct objects or subordinate clauses, just like other preterite forms. Examples include: “Predijisteis el resultado del partido” and “Ayer, vosotros predijisteis que llegaría a tiempo.” The sentence structure typically situates the predicted event as something that was believed or stated at a past point in time.

Notes: Predijisteis is part of the broader irregular preterite pattern for verbs derived from decir y predecir, where the stem includes -dij- and the endings align with -er/-ir verbs. In Spanish varieties that do not use vosotros, this specific form is uncommon; speakers instead rely on ustedes predijeron for past predictions.
