Compartas

Compartas is the second-person singular present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb compartir, meaning “to share.” It is used in subordinate clauses that express wishes, doubts, emotions, possibilities, or necessities and occurs in sentences such as “Espero que compartas tus ideas” or “Es posible que compartas el documento.” As a grammatical form, it does not function as a standalone word with its own meaning outside the sentence.

Etymology and morphology: compartir derives from the Latin partiri “to divide” with the reinvigorated prefix com-, giving the sense of sharing or distributing together. In the present subjunctive, the endings follow standard -ar/-er/-ir conjugation patterns for subjunctive forms, and compartas corresponds specifically to tú in the present subjunctive. Other present subjunctive forms include comparta (él/ella/usted), compartamos (nosotros), compartáis (vosotros), and compartan (ellos/ellas/ustedes).

Usage notes: Compartas contrasts with the indicative present tense tú compartes, which states a fact, and with the imperative comparte, which issues a direct command. The subjunctive mood in which compartas appears is typical in clauses introduced by verbs of wishing, doubt, or uncertainty, as well as after evaluative or impersonal phrases like “es posible que” or “ojalá que.”
