Enredas

Enredas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb enredar. Enredar means to entangle, to intertwine, or to complicate a situation. The infinitive is formed with the prefix en- added to a root related to red, meaning net, reflecting the sense of turning something into a tangle.

The form enredas is used when speaking informally to one person: “Tú enredas la cuerda” or “No me enredes con tus excusas.” In dialects that use the voseo form, the corresponding form is “enredás,” with an accent marking the stress.

Usage notes include both physical and figurative senses. Enredas can describe twisting or tangling materials such as hilos or cuerdas, as in “No me enredes las cuerdas.” It also covers figurative entanglement or complication, for example “No te enredes en esa historia” or “Te enredas en un problema.” The verb is often used with pronominal or causative constructions, such as “enredar a alguien” (to entangle someone in a plan or scheme).

Grammatical overview: enredas follows the standard -ar verb endings in the present tense for the tú form. Related forms include enredo (yo), enredas (tú), enreda (él/ella/usted), enredamos, enredáis, enredan, along with compound tenses formed with haber + enredado.
