Usage Note
Rompre is irregular; its past participle is rompu. It covers breaking silence (rompre le silence), breaking off a relationship (rompre avec quelqu'un), and breaking a habit (rompre avec une habitude). The phrase être rompu de fatigue means 'to be exhausted' — a different, idiomatic sense.
