Acordaremse

Acordaremse is not a recognized entry in standard Portuguese dictionaries and is generally considered a nonstandard or erroneous variant of the reflexive verb acordar-se. The standard forms are acordar-se (to wake up oneself) in the infinitive, and acordam-se, acordaram-se, etc., in conjugated forms. The use of a hyphen to join the verb and the reflexive pronoun se is the normative spelling in formal writing.

Etymology and formation

The term would be derived from the verb acordar (to wake) combined with the reflexive pronoun se, following ordinary Portuguese morphology for pronominal verbs. In standard orthography, the reflexive clitic attaches with a hyphen in the infinitive (acordar-se) and in various conjugations (acordaram-se, acordem-se, etc.). Nonstandard spellings like acordaremse typically arise from typographical mistakes, haste in informal writing, or misinterpretation of pronunciation.

Usage and guidance

In formal and edited texts, acordaremse should be avoided in favor of the standard acordar-se and its correctly inflected forms. If a writer encounters acordaremse, it is generally corrective to replace it with acordar-se (infinitive) or with the appropriate conjugated form, depending on tense and subject. The presence of the nonstandard form can impede clarity and may be perceived as an orthographic error.
