Anuncia

Anuncia is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb anunciar, and also a present-tense form in Portuguese for the same verb anunciar. In both languages it generally means to announce, to declare, or to advertise, depending on context. The form can also be used in formal address in Spanish, where usted announces.

Etymology and cognates: anunciar derives from Latin annuntiare, meaning to report or proclaim. Related verbs appear across Romance languages, such as annoncer in French and annunciare in Italian, all sharing a common Latin root related to notification or proclamation. The noun corresponding to the act is anuncio in Spanish and anúncio in Portuguese, meaning an advertisement or notice.

Usage and nuance: In everyday Spanish, anuncia appears in statements like El portavoz anuncia la decisión (The spokesperson announces the decision) or La empresa anuncia un nuevo producto (The company advertises/releases a new product). In marketing contexts, anunciar is used for publicizing goods or services, while in formal or ceremonial settings it means to announce an event or result. The form is inflected for person and number, with yo anuncio, tú anuncias, él/ella/usted anuncia, nosotros anunciamos, vosotros anunciáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes anuncian.

Related forms: anunciante (advertiser or anuncer), anuncio (advertisement or notice), anunciación (annunciation or announcement in religious or formal sense). The term is widely understood in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts and appears in journalism, marketing, and official communication.
