pudrís

Pudrís is a form found in the Catalan verb pudrir, which means to rot or decay. Specifically, pudrís is the second-person singular present indicative form, used to say “you rot” or “you are rotting.” In sentences, it can denote that the subject is causing rot to something or is undergoing rot, depending on the diathesis and transitivity of the verb.

Etymology and form: pudrir derives from Latin putrescere, meaning to rot. The Catalan form pudrís reflects typical Romance-language patterns for the second-person singular present tense of an -ir verb, with orthographic accent functioning to indicate the stressed syllable in common pronunciation.

Usage notes: Pudrís appears in standard Catalan as part of ordinary present-tense conjugation. It is employed in both literal contexts (for example, describing rotting food) and metaphorical ones (such as deterioration of a situation), depending on the surrounding vocabulary. Because pudrir is a transitive verb, pudrís can take a direct object, as in rotant el contingut d’un recipient. In everyday speech, speakers may choose more precise verbs or additional qualifiers to convey gradual decay, urgency, or cause.
