desmonta

Desmonta is a Spanish verb form that can serve as the present indicative third-person singular of desmontar, meaning to dismantle, take apart, or remove components. It is also the affirmative informal singular imperative for tú (desmonta), used to give a direct command to someone familiar to dismantle something. The same spelling thus represents two different grammatical moods depending on context.

Etymology and sense: desmontar is built from des- (a prefix indicating removal or reversal) and montar (to mount or assemble). The combination conveys the idea of taking apart something that was previously mounted or assembled.

Grammar and usage: Desmonta is a regular AR-verb form in the present tense. Typical conjugation in the present indicative is: yo desmonto, tú desmontas, él/ella/usted desmonta, nosotros desmontamos, vosotros desmontáis, ellos desmontan. As an affirmative command for the tú form, it means “dismantle” or “take apart,” e.g., “Desmonta esa pieza.” The negative tú command is desmontes. The form appears in instructions, reports, manuals, and descriptive text where disassembly is described or requested.

Contexts: common in maintenance, repair, manufacturing, and logistics when disassembling equipment or structures. It can also occur in journalism or technical writing when detailing actions taken to inspect or replace components.
