Escorremos

Escorremos is a Portuguese word that translates to "we drain" or "we pour out" in English. It is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb "escorrer." The verb "escorrer" itself has a broad range of meanings, all related to the movement of liquid or a substance flowing away.

Common uses of "escorrer" include draining water from food, such as pasta or vegetables, after cooking. For instance, "Escorremos a massa" means "We drain the pasta." It can also refer to the act of pouring out a liquid, like emptying a container. Beyond literal draining, "escorrer" can also describe a liquid dripping or seeping away, such as water running down a surface or sweat dripping from the body. Metaphorically, it can imply the gradual loss or depletion of something, like resources or energy. Therefore, "escorremos" encapsulates the collective action of actively causing a liquid or flowing substance to move away or out.
