Carregas

Carregas is not a single, fixed term in Portuguese but primarily the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb carregar, meaning you load or you carry. In European Portuguese the form tu carregas is common, while in Brazilian Portuguese the pronoun você typically leads to carrega in the present. Because of its verbal nature, carregas is rarely used as a standalone noun in standard Portuguese.

As a noun, the corresponding plural is cargas, which refers to loads, cargo, or burdens. In logistics and transport the word cargas is widely used to denote goods or freight carried by vehicles, ships, rail, or air. Phrases such as cargas de mercadorias, gestão de cargas and transporte de cargas are common in supply chains, shipping, and safety regulations, including categories like cargas perigosas for hazardous materials.

In physics and engineering, cargas is the plural of carga and denotes electric charges or electrical loads in a system. This sense appears in discussions of fields, circuits, and energy transfer, with positive and negative cargas describing the fundamental charges carried by particles or the loads drawn by components in a circuit.

In summary, while carregas is primarily a verb form meaning “you load,” the related noun concept is expressed with cargas, covering freight, burdens, and electrical charges depending on the context. The exact meaning is determined by sentence structure and regional usage.
