unterbrechen
to interrupt
- Past (Präteritum)
- unterbrach
- Past participle
- unterbrochen (haben)
Irregular strong verb with inseparable prefix. It signifies the temporary cessation or disruption of an ongoing process, activity, or sequence, often by an external influence. Typical subjects include speakers, loud sounds, or technical signals. Distinguish from similar verbs like abbrechen, which implies a permanent cessation of an action rather than a momentary pause or intervention of a continuous flow or event stream.
