sobrevivas

Sobrevivas is a Portuguese verb form that functions as the second-person singular of the present subjunctive of the verb sobreviver, which means to survive. As a grammatical element, it does not have an independent meaning beyond its role in mood and tense; its use signals non-factuality, doubt, wish, or hypothetical situations in subordinate clauses.

The present subjunctive mood in Portuguese is used after expressions of doubt, desire, necessity, or uncertainty, and in clauses introduced by certain conjunctions such as que, para que, caso, or quando. Accordingly, sobrevivas appears in contexts that require the subjunctive with the subject tu, or its regional equivalents in different varieties of Portuguese. In many varieties that favor the pronoun você, the corresponding form is sobreviva, the third-person singular present subjunctive.

Examples of use include sentences like: “Espero que tu sobrevivas a esta fase” or the more common Brazilian Portuguese construction with você, “Espero que você sobreviva a esta fase.” These illustrate how the form governs mood rather than conveying a lexical meaning by itself.

There is no widely recognized concept, organization, or work uniformly associated with the term sobrevivas; when encountered in writing, it is typically understood as a grammatical form rather than a proper noun. In instructional or reference contexts, the focus is on its role within the system of Portuguese verb conjugation and its relationship to other present-subjunctive forms.
