ininterrumpida

Ininterrumpida is a Spanish adjective meaning not interrupted or uninterrupted. It describes something that continues without breaks or gaps, such as a process, service, transmission, or period of time. The term agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: ininterrumpido (masculine singular), ininterrumpida (feminine singular), ininterrumpidos (masculine or mixed plural), and ininterrumpidas (feminine plural).

Etymology and usage notes: the word is formed from the prefix in- (not) plus interrumpir (to interrupt) with the participial ending -ida. It is commonly used in technical, formal, and journalistic contexts to emphasize continuity or reliability. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use phrases such as “sin interrupciones” or “continuo.”

Common contexts: transmission, energy supply, or services described as ininterrumpida convey that no interruption occurred during a defined period. Examples include “emisión ininterrumpida de diez horas,” “suministro eléctrico ininterrumpido” or “conexión ininterrumpida.” The adverb form is ininterrumpidamente, used to describe actions that proceed without interruption, for example, “La transmisión continuó ininterrumpidamente.”

Related terms: synonyms include continuo, incesante, constante, and sin interrupciones. Antonyms include interrumpido and discontinuo. The term is often specialized to technical or formal writing, but it is widely understood in general Spanish to denote uninterrupted duration or operation.
