Definition​

To 'break in on' something or someone means to interrupt an ongoing activity, conversation, or period of silence, often suddenly and without prior invitation or warning. This phrasal verb strongly implies an intrusion or an interruption that disrupts the flow or peace of what was happening. It suggests starting to speak, interjecting a comment, or making a noise that causes a halt or diversion in the primary activity. The interruption can be unwelcome or simply unexpected, and it typically causes the attention of those involved to shift to the new interjecting element, often to the annoyance or surprise of the original participants.
