soportas

Soportas is primarily the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb soportar. It translates as you bear, you endure, or you tolerate, depending on the context, and it is used to describe enduring a situation, bearing a burden, or tolerating someone's behavior.

Grammatically, soportas corresponds to the subject you (tú). The form appears in present indicative constructions like “tú soportas.” The related forms include the affirmative imperative soporta, the negative imperative no soportes, and the present subjunctive form soportes, which is used in subordinate clauses or hypotheticals (e.g., “es necesario que tú soportes…”).

Etymology and meaning have their roots in the Latin verb subportare, from sub- (under) and portare (to carry). Over time, the sense broadened from carrying a physical load to bearing or tolerating conditions, circumstances, or people.

Usage and context: soportas is common in everyday Spanish and appears in varied registers from casual speech to formal writing, always indicating endurance or tolerance. While most references treat it as a standard grammatical form, in some cases Soportas may appear as a surname or a brand name, though there is no widely recognized encyclopedic entry tied to it as a standalone topic.
