realizastes

Realizastes is a verb form in Portuguese. It represents the second-person plural preterite (simple past) of the verb realizar, meaning you all realized or you all carried out. This form is typically found with the archaic or formal second-person plural pronoun “vós,” which is still used in some European Portuguese varieties and in liturgical or literary contexts. In contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, realizastes is uncommon, and speakers would typically say vocês realizaram.

Morphology and usage notes: realizastes is built from the stem realiz- plus the preterite ending -astes, which corresponds to the vós form for -ar verbs. The corresponding singular form is realizaste (tu realizaste), while the third-person plural form is realizaram (eles/elas realizaram) in most modern usage. The distinction between tu, vós, and vocês forms is a characteristic feature of traditional European Portuguese verb conjugation.

Context and examples: Realizastes appears primarily in historical texts, classical literature, or religious and ceremonial writing. In everyday speech, speakers using the pronoun vocês or simplesmente vocês would use realizarem with the third-person plural, as in vocês realizaram. An example with vós could be: Vós realizastes o plano com sucesso. An equivalently understood sentence with the Brazilian norm would be: Vocês realizaram o plano com sucesso.
