scripsisti

Scripsisti is the second person singular perfect active indicative form of the Latin verb scribere, meaning "you wrote." It appears in classical Latin as a completed-action past tense form directed at the person being spoken to. The standard related forms of scribere include scripsit (he wrote), scripsimus (we wrote), scripsistis (you all wrote), and scripserunt (they wrote). The form scripsisti is built from the verb stem scrib- with the perfect tense ending appropriate to the second person singular.

In use, scripsisti states that the addressed subject performed the action of writing at some point in the past. It can occur in direct discourse, as in Tu scripsisti epistulam, or in literary narration. Latin prose and verse commonly employ the second-person perfect in dialogue or recollection. The form is gender-neutral, as Latin verbs do not inflect for gender.

In modern Latin teaching, scripsisti is presented in conjugation tables under the perfect indicative, alongside other person-number combinations of scribere. It serves as a canonical example of Latin verb morphology and helps learners distinguish person, number, and tense in the perfect system. See also scribere, Latin conjugation, and Latin grammar.
