Deduzis

Deduzis is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Portuguese verb deduzir, meaning “you (plural) deduce.” It is used in European Portuguese in informal or archaic contexts when using the second-person plural pronoun vós. In modern Brazilian Portuguese, the corresponding form is typically deduzem, using você/vocês as the second-person plural pronoun rather than vós.

Etymology and conjugation: Deduzir comes from the Latin deducere, meaning to lead or derive. The standard present tense conjugation in European Portuguese includes: eu deduzo, tu deduzes, ele deduz, nós deduzimos, vós deduzis, eles deduzem. The form deduzis is part of the traditional vós paradigm, which is routinely replaced by outras formas in contemporary speech outside of Portugal’s more formal or historical registers.

Usage and context: In modern everyday writing and conversation, deduzis is relatively uncommon outside of regions or contexts that preserve older or literary language. It may appear in historical texts, translations that retain antique pronouns, religious or ceremonial language, or poetic style to evoke antiquity. For most readers, the contemporary equivalents are eu deduzo, tu deduzes, nós deduzimos, or, in Brazil, eu deduzo, você/dvocês deduzem.
