quebraste

Quebraste is a conjugated form of the verb quebrar, found in Spanish and, in some dialects, in Portuguese. In Spanish, quebraste is the second-person singular pretérito indefinido (simple past) of quebrar, used to describe a completed action in the past with an informal subject (tú; the pronoun is often omitted). Example: Ayer quebraste la ventana. The verb quebrar covers both literal breakage of objects and figurative ruptures, such as quebrar la confianza (to break someone’s trust) or quebrar las reglas (to break the rules).

In Portuguese, the corresponding past tense form varies by dialect and standard written usage. In Brazilian Portuguese, the common forms are tu quebraste or você quebrou, depending on regional preference; in European Portuguese, tu quebras-te or tu quebraste may appear in some contexts. The exact spelling and pronoun usage can differ, and quebraste as a single-word form is less uniformly used than its Spanish cognate.

Etymology and relatives: quebrar/quebrar share a common Romance-language heritage, with cognates across several languages. Related nouns include quiebre, which denotes a break or rupture and appears in contexts such as financial quiebre (bankruptcy) or structural quiebre.
