Enfeitamos

Enfeitamos is a Portuguese verb form meaning "we decorated" or "we adorned." It is the first-person plural of the verb enfeitar in the pretérito perfeito (past simple) indicative, used to describe actions completed in the past that involved decorating spaces, objects, or attire for celebrations or events.

Etymology: enfeitar derives from the noun enfeite (ornament) with the verb-forming suffix -ar. The form "enfeitamos" is commonly used in Brazilian Portuguese, while European Portuguese often writes the past tense as "enfeitámos," with an accent to mark the stress.

Usage: enfeitar and its inflected forms appear in both narrative and everyday speech. Examples include: "Nós enfeitamos a sala para a festa" (We decorated the room for the party) and "Eles enfeitaram as paredes com bandeirolas" (They decorated the walls with bunting). The term can describe decorating physical spaces, clothing, or other objects for festive occasions; it can also be used in broader contexts to describe ornamenting or embellishing things.
