transmití

Transmití is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb transmitir in the preterite tense. It means “I transmitted” or “I broadcast,” and it is used to describe a completed action in the past involving sending, conveying, or spreading something—such as information, signals, messages, or diseases—through a medium or to recipients.

Conjugation in the preterite is regular for -ir verbs: yo transmití, tú transmitiste, él/ella/usted transmitió, nosotros transmitimos, vosotros transmitisteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes transmitieron. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable, ensuring correct pronunciation and distinguishing this form from others in related tenses.

Usage notes: Transmití is used when the speaker performed a past, completed act of transmitting. It contrasts with the imperfect form transmitía, which describes habitual or ongoing past actions or background circumstances. Examples: “Ayer transmití el informe por la radio.” “Transmití los datos a mi equipo.” The verb can apply to various contexts—broadcasting media, forwarding information, or spreading ideas—while in medical or epidemiological contexts it also covers the transmission of diseases or conditions.

Related terms: transmitir is the infinitive; its noun form is transmisión, and related agents include transmisor. The concept is connected to synonyms like emitir or difundir, though each has its own nuance. Etymology traces back to Latin trans-mittere, combining “through” and “send.”
