Is "dijites" a real Spanish word?

Question

I received an email with the following sentence in it: "Como me dijites que no conocías la isla, te envio esta foto."

I tried looking up the word, "dijites" in a dictionary and in a phrase list, but it just gets translated as "dijit." Has anyone seen this word before? I asked the writer to clarify it, but got clarification on the sentence, not the specific word.

Answer 1

It's a typo. It should be: dijiste .

Answer 2

Jen got it right. I guess the person made a typo on "dijistes," which in itself is wrong. This form of preterite in the second person is not unknown in some countries be it written or oral, but its use must be discouraged nonetheless.
