repetí

Repetí is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb repetir in the pretérito perfecto simple (also called pretérito indefinido), meaning “I repeated.” The verb repetir generally means to perform an action again, or to say or do something again, and it can refer to both physical actions and repeating words or sounds.

Etymology and usage context: repetir comes from Latin repetere, formed with re- (“again”) and petere (“to seek, go toward”). In Spanish, repetitive actions are expressed across various tenses, with repetí serving as the standard past tense form for yo in simple narration. Repetir often appears in transitive constructions, for example with an object (repetí la tarea) or with phrases involving repetition of speech (repetí lo que dijo).

Conjugation highlights: The pretérito indefinido forms are repetí, repetiste, repitió, repetimos, repetisteis, repitieron. The third-person singular repitió and the third-person plural repitieron reflect a stem change from e to i in the root for those persons. Other tenses include the present indicative: repito, repites, repite, repetimos, repetís, repiten; the imperfect: repetía, repetías, repetía, repetíamos, repetíais, repetían. The future forms are repetiré, repetirás, repetirá, repetiremos, repetiréis, repetirán, and the conditional forms are repetiría, repetirías, repetiría, repetiríamos, repetiríais, repetirían. Note that spelling and accent marks help indicate the correct pronunciation and stress.
