reiteraste

Reiteraste is the second-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb reiterar. It means you reiterated or you repeated something in the past, often with emphasis or to restate a point. The verb reiterar comes from the Latin reiterare, combining reiter- “again” with -are, and in Spanish it is used to indicate repeating or reaffirming a statement, instruction, claim, or request.

Grammatical notes: Reiteraste is used when describing a past action by tú. Related forms include yo reiteré, él reiteró, nosotros reiteramos, vosotros reiterasteis, and ellos reiteraron; in many Latin American varieties, ustedes reiteraron is common for the second person plural. Reiterar is distinct from repetir in that reiterar emphasizes restating or reinforcing a point rather than merely duplicating an action.

Usage and nuance: Reiterar can convey emphasis, insistence, or clarification of a previously stated idea. It is common in formal or written narration, reports, and directive contexts. In everyday speech, synonyms like repetir or insistir might be used depending on the nuance.

Examples:

- Ayer reiteraste tu compromiso de cumplir con el plazo.

- En la reunión, reiteraste la importancia de mantener la confidencialidad.
