Digame algo que no sepa

[Aprendo]

"Tell me something I don't know."

The very "saber" is in the subjunctive because the speaker (me, for example) doesn't know if he/she (I) will know or not know what the 2nd person will say?

In other words, the future is unknown?

Please let me know if I'm correct in my reasoning for this being in the subjunctive.


As always, TIA.

Dígame algo que no sepa.

The subjunctive is used because the requested thing cannot be known. It is therefore unreal.
It has nothing to do with the speaker not knowing what the answer will be.
