Conceda

Conceda is a form of the Portuguese verb conceder, meaning to grant or to concede. It functions as the third-person singular present subjunctive form of conceder and as the formal second-person singular imperative used in many varieties when addressing “you.” The verb derives from Latin concedere, from con- (together) and cedere (to yield). In contemporary Portuguese, conceder is common in formal, administrative, and legal contexts, where permissions, licenses, or concessions are discussed.

Usage notes: Conceda appears in clauses that express wish, doubt, possibility, or necessity (present subjunctive), for example, “É essencial que ele conceda a licença.” In direct address, it also serves as a formal imperative, as in “Conceda-me a autorização.” Pronoun usage yields forms such as “Conceda-me” or “Conceda-se” (the latter in impersonal or passive-like constructions typical of official writings). The verb can also appear in subordinate clauses with que, as in “Espero que ele conceda a permissão.”

Conjugation context: As a regular -er verb, conceder follows common endings in the present subjunctive: eu conceda, tu concedas, ele conceda, nós concedamos, vós concedais, eles concedam. The key lemma “conceda” therefore appears across moods and persons, most notably for the third-person singular subjunctive and the formal imperative.

Translations and related terms: Conceda translates roughly as “grant” or “concede” depending on mood and person, and is related to concessões, concessão, and permisos. It often appears in legal, governmental, or formal prose where authorization or permission is being discussed or requested.
