Aconselhemos

Aconselhemos is the 1st person plural present subjunctive form of the Portuguese verb aconselhar, meaning to advise. In usage, it appears in subordinate clauses to express wishes, doubts, hypothetical situations, or recommendations, often after phrases such as é necessário que, desejo que, ou para que. It is part of the regular conjugation pattern for -ar verbs in the present subjunctive.

Form and usage notes: the present subjunctive for nós is aconselhemos, as in que nós aconselhemos. This form is used in formal or written Portuguese and is common in both Brazilian and European varieties in appropriate contexts. It conveys subjectivity rather than a definite assertion, marking that the act of advising is contingent, desired, or uncertain.

Examples:

- É necessário que nós aconselhemos prudência ao planejar a estratégia.

- Espero que nós aconselhemos os colegas sobre as melhores opções.

Etymology and related forms: aconselhar derives from the root associated with giving counsel, with the subjunctive form following the standard -ar verb pattern in Portuguese. Related forms include eu aconselhe, tu aconselhes, ele aconselhe, vós aconselheis, eles aconselhem.
