Regularizaste is the second-person singular pretérito simple (simple past) form of the Spanish verb regularizar, meaning “you regularized.” It is used to describe a completed action in which the subject (tú) brought something into conformity, standard, or legal compliance. The infinitive regularizar comes from regular- “to make regular” plus the suffix -izar, and the verb is widely used in administrative, legal, and bureaucratic contexts across Spanish-speaking regions.

Usage of regularizaste typically appears in sentences referring to the act of making something regular or official. For example: “Esta mañana regularizaste tu estatus migratorio” or “El gobierno regularizó las licencias de conducir.” The form can apply to various domains, such as immigration status, employment records, tax or financial procedures, licenses, or regulatory compliance, whenever a process completes to formalize an irregular or informal situation.

Related terms include regularización (the noun for the act or process of regularizing) and regularizable (capable of being regularized). The verb regularizar belongs to the regular –ar conjugation pattern, so its other forms follow the standard endings: regularizo, regularizas, regulariza, regularizamos, regularizáis, regularizan. Regularizaste serves as a common past-tense indicator in dialogue or reporting when addressing someone directly.
