interrumpas

Interrumpas is the second-person singular present subjunctive form of the Spanish verb interrumpir. In grammar, it appears in subordinate clauses and is used to express wishes, doubts, emotions, necessity, or hypothetical scenarios, often after verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive, such as quiero que, es probable que, or dudo que.

Usage examples illustrate its function. Es importante que no interrumpas cuando alguien está hablando. Es posible que interrumpas si llega la llamada. Espero que no interrumpas durante la reunión. In these contexts, interrumpas signals actions that are not asserted as fact but viewed through subjunctive mood, typically in relation to another clause introduced by que or in other subordinate constructions.

Etymology and related forms. Interrumpas proviene de interrumpir, cuyo origen está en el latín interrupere (inter- “entre” + rumpere “romper”). En español, the present subjunctive for tú follows the standard pattern of -ar/-er/-ir verbs, yielding interrumpas for this form. Related forms include interrumpe (present indicative, tú), interrumpa (subjunctive for él/ella/Usted), and other person-number variations for the same verb. The form interrumpas is thus a grammatical mood and person marker rather than a standalone lexical item.
