Usage Note

Sumergido is the past participle of sumergir ('to submerge') used as an adjective. It agrees in gender and number: sumergida, sumergidos. Figuratively it expresses deep absorption: sumergido en sus pensamientos ('lost in thought'). Do not confuse with hundido ('sunken'), which implies irreversible sinking rather than temporary immersion.

Examples

"El submarino viajaba sumergido a gran profundidad."
