Assistimos

Assistimos is the present indicative form of the Portuguese verb assistir, used with the first-person plural “we.” In contemporary Portuguese, the verb carries two primary senses: to attend (an event, class, or gathering) and to watch (a film, show, or program). The exact meaning depends on context and regional usage; for example, assistimos a uma palestra can mean “we attend a lecture,” while assistimos o filme can mean “we watch the movie.” Dialectal variation may influence whether the sense of watching is marked with a preposition or a direct object.

As a regular -ir verb, assistir conjugates in the present tense as: eu assisto, tu assistes, ele/ela assiste, nós assistimos, vós assistís, eles/elas assistem. The two primary senses are established through context and complementary words, with “a” frequently used when signaling the act of watching in many varieties, and direct object use common when signaling attendance.

Etymology traces assistiremos to the Latin assistere, meaning to stand near or to be present. In modern usage, assistirmos expresses presence or sight in everyday speech and writing, and does not typically carry the sense of “to help” (that sense is usually conveyed by ajudar or auxiliar in Portuguese).

Notes: As a lexical form, assistimos appears in ordinary conjugation tables and is encountered in media, education, and conversation. If used as a proper noun, Assistimos may occur as a brand or project name, but there is no widely documented organization by that exact title.
