Atingirem

Atingirem is a Portuguese verb form. It is the third-person plural form of the futuro do subjuntivo (future subjunctive) of the verb atingir, which means to reach or to achieve. This form appears in subordinate clauses that express a hypothetical or contingent future action, often after conjunctions such as se, quando, or caso.

In practice, the futuro do subjuntivo is used to indicate events that may occur under certain conditions. Atingirem corresponds to “they reach” in a future-subjunctive sense. A typical example is: Se eles atingirem as metas, receberão bônus. This sentence means “If they reach the targets, they will receive a bonus.”

Common related forms include atingem (present indicative: they reach) and atingirão (future indicative: they will reach). The pretérito perfeito atingiram is used for completed past actions, as in Eles atingiram as metas ontem (They reached the targets yesterday). The verb stem is atingir, and atingirem is one of several conjugated forms that reflect mood and tense in Portuguese grammar.
