subiste

Subiste is a verb form in Spanish. It is the second-person singular pretérito indefinido (indicativo) form of subir, meaning you went up or you climbed. It is used to narrate completed actions in the past with the subject tú. The form can be transitive or intransitive, depending on context, and it appears with physical ascent as well as metaphorical movement or in digital contexts to mean "you uploaded."

Conjugation (indicative pretérito): yo subí; tú subiste; él/ella/usted subió; nosotros/nosotras subimos; vosotros/vosotras subisteis; ellos/ellas/ustedes subieron.

Usage notes: It agrees with the subject tú and is common in both spoken and written past narrative. Examples: "Ayer subiste la colina sin detenerte." "Subiste las escaleras muy rápido." It can take a direct object: "subiste el puerto" (you went up the pass), or be used with prepositional phrases: "subiste por la colina." In modern usage, subir can also mean to upload files or images, so "subiste la foto" means you uploaded the photo.

Etymology: derived from subir, a verb that comes from Latin subire.
