übertrugst

übertrugst is the second-person singular form of the German verb übertragen in the Präteritum (simple past). It means “you transferred” or “you transmitted” and is used in narrative or formal past contexts. The verb übertragen has several related senses, including transferring or conveying something from one place to another (data, goods, rights), transmitting information or signals (radio, network), broadcasting a program, and rendering or adapting material into another medium.

In everyday spoken German, the present perfect is more common for past events, so you would typically hear or say “du hast übertragen” rather than “du übertrugst” in casual conversation. The Präteritum form, including übertrugst, appears more in written language, literature, or formal narration.

Conjugation (Präteritum, representative forms): ich übertrug, du übertrugst, er übertrug, wir übertrugen, ihr übertrugt, sie übertrugen. The past participle is übertragen, and the infinitive is übertragen.

Etymology and nuance: übertragen comes from the prefix über- (across, across to another place or medium) plus tragen (to carry). Through this, the verb acquires meanings related to carrying something across boundaries, whether physically, communicatively, or structurally (for example, transferring data, broadcasting a program, or translating a text into another medium).

Notes: The word often appears in technical, legal, or historical contexts when describing past actions of transferring or transmitting. In translation or media discussions, it can also mean rendering content into a different medium or format.
