propagasteis

Propagasteis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb propagar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It translates to "you all propagated" or "you all spread" in English and is used with the pronoun vosotros.

Morphology and etymology: The form is built from the stem propag- plus the regular -ar verb ending for the second-person plural, -asteis. Propagar itself comes from Latin propagare, meaning to propagate, extend, or cause to spread. The pronunciation and spelling follow standard Castilian Spanish patterns for regular -ar verbs in the pretérito.

Regional usage: Propagasteis is standard in scenes that use the vosotros form, primarily in Spain and in some communities that retain the vosotros paradigm. In many Latin American varieties, vosotros is uncommon or absent, and the equivalent past tense is expressed with ustedes propagaron.

Grammatical notes: This form denotes a completed action in the past performed by the group addressed. It is not used for ongoing or habitual past actions, which would be described with other tenses or aspects. The corresponding forms for other persons include propagaste, propagó, propagamos, propagasteis, propagaron, depending on the subject.

Example: Vosotros propagasteis la noticia entre todos antes de la reunión. The sentence illustrates a completed action by a group in the past, with propagar used in its regular conjugation pattern.
