I hope that .......

Question

Espero que no hayas molestado? I hope that I have'nt disturbed you?

Thank you

Answer 1

Espero que + subjunctive. You're on the right track. But the " hayas" part means "you have bothered". Like: espero que no me hayas molestado sin un buen razón.

Try to say who is being bothered.... Espero que no te haya molestado.

Hi MLucie. Small correction: "un buen razón" → "una buena razón" - Izanoni1, Oct 12, 2011

Answer 2

I have checked with a native whose nickname here is Cogumela, through Skype, and she wrote: I would say:

''Espero no haberte molestado''

I hope this helps

That is definitely a reliable source! - MLucie, Oct 13, 2011

Answer 3

I also hear very often:

"Disculpa la molesta...pero...." (Sorry to interrupt you, but / Sorry to bother you)

Answer 4

Espero que no hayas molestado?

This would be more along the lines of "I hope that you have not irritated?"

The verb is conjugated to reflect the source of the irritation which in this case should be the speaker (1st person singular/"yo" form) — haya molestado.

The person that is being irritated (which in this case is the addressee) can be described by an indirect object. In this case, the indirect object pronoun — te

Your entire sentence then might read something like:

?Espero que no te haya molestado.
