Asseguras

Asseguras is a Portuguese verb form. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb assegurar, which means to assure, to guarantee, to insure, or to secure. The form is used in dialects and varieties where the informal second-person pronoun tu is common; in many Brazilian varieties, the corresponding everyday form is você assegura, while tu asseguras appears in regional speech.

Conjugation and usage notes: Assegurar is a regular -ar verb, so its present tense forms follow standard patterns. Asseguras specifically corresponds to the subject “tu” in the present tense. In formal writing or in varieties that do not use tu, you would typically find você assegura instead. The sense of assegurar covers both assuring a person of something (reassuring) and guaranteeing a result (ensuring success or safety), as well as insuring a risk or asset in an insurance context.

Common uses and examples: Tu asseguras que o relatório estará pronto amanhã. (You assure that the report will be ready tomorrow.) Ela assegura aos clientes que o produto é confiável. In insurance terminology, the related verb choisir assemelha-se to insured contexts: assegurar um bem, a apólice de seguro, assegurado.

Related forms and semantic field: The noun asseguração or a sense of garantia relates to its English equivalents assurance or guarantee. The related adjective seguro describes safety and certainty, while the passive participle assegurado means insured or guaranteed.

Origin and scope: The verb belongs to the core group of -ar verbs in Portuguese and is tied to the semantic field of safety and confidence. Its usage spans everyday reassurance, formal guarantees, and insurance-related contexts.
