interponer

to interpose

verb een-tehr-poh-NEHR Rare

Also means

to lodge (an appeal)

Usage Note

Interponer is conjugated like poner (irregular: interpongo, interpuse, interpondré). In everyday speech it means to place something between two things. In legal Spanish interponer un recurso is the fixed phrase for lodging an appeal or filing a legal challenge — a key term for legal learners that has no single-word English equivalent.

Examples

"El abogado interpuso un recurso de apelación."

Natural Translation

The lawyer lodged an appeal.
