vulnerabas

Vulnerabas is a Latin verb form meaning "you were wounding" or "you used to wound." It is the second-person singular imperfect active indicative of vulnerare, a first-conjugation verb meaning "to wound" or "to injure." In Latin, the imperfect tense expresses past action that was ongoing or habitual. The form vulnerabas is built from the present stem vulner- with the imperfect ending -abas; the long vowel mark (ā) signals length in proper orthography, written as vulnerābas in classical texts. Related forms from the same verb include vulnero (I wound), vulneras (you wound, present), vulnerabat (he was wounding), vulnerabamus (we were wounding), vulnerabatis (you plural were wounding), vulnerabant (they were wounding).

In usage, vulnerabas appears in narrative or didactic contexts to express a past, ongoing act of wounding. It does not convey completed action; for completed past, Latin uses perfect tense like vulneravisti (you wounded) rather than imperfect. Exemplar sentence: Hostes vulnerabas. Translation: You were wounding the enemies.
