preguntaste

Preguntaste is a Spanish word, specifically the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb "preguntar." "Preguntar" translates to "to ask" in English. Therefore, "preguntaste" directly translates to "you asked." This conjugation is used when speaking to one person informally (using "tú") and referring to an action that was completed in the past. For example, "Tú preguntaste la hora" means "You asked the time." The preterite tense is used to describe a completed action in the past, as opposed to an ongoing or habitual action, which would use the imperfect tense. The word is commonly encountered in everyday conversation and written Spanish.
