unificaste

Unificaste is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb unificar in the pretérito indefinido (simple past). It corresponds to “you unified” in English and is used when narrating a completed action in the past directed at informal tú. Unificar is a regular -ar verb, with the standard pretérito endings: yo unifiqué (spelling change for -car verbs), tú unificaste, él/ella/usted unificó, nosotros unificamos, vosotros unificasteis, ellos/ellas/ustedes unificaron.

Etymology and meaning: unificar comes from the prefix uni- (one) and the verb facere (to make) via Latin, reflecting the sense of making multiple parts into one. The core meaning of unificaste, therefore, is that the subject brought together separate elements, ideas, or standards into a single whole.

Usage notes: This form is common in narrative or evaluative writing, reporting actions taken by someone addressed as tú. It can describe merging data, aligning criteria, or consolidating factions. Because it is a regular -ar verb in most forms, its conjugation follows typical patterns, with the notable yo form unifiqué due to a spelling change.

Examples: Ayer unificaste los criterios de evaluación. Con tu informe, unificaste las propuestas de los departamentos.
