Implantando

Implantando is the gerund form of the verb implantar in Spanish and Portuguese, meaning “implanting” or “implementing.” It denotes an ongoing action and can function in main predication or as part of a larger verb phrase, as in “Se está implantando un nuevo sistema” (Spanish) or “Está implantando um novo sistema” (Portuguese).

Usage and contexts

The term is commonly used across domains to describe the process of introducing, placing, or establishing something new. In medicine and dentistry, it refers to the placement of implants or prostheses. In technology, business, and public policy, it describes the rollout or adoption of systems, procedures, or regulations. The gerund form enables a focus on the ongoing nature of the action, contrasting with completed forms like implantado/implantada (implanted).

Related forms and distinctions

Noun forms include implantación in Spanish and implantação in Portuguese, both referring to the act or process of implanting or implementing. The words implante (Spanish) and implante (Portuguese) denote the implant or implant device itself. While implantando emphasizes the process, these related terms distinguish between the act and the object involved.

Etymology

The term derives from Latin implantare (in- + planta), evolving in Spanish and Portuguese through the verbs implantar/implantar to express the act of placing or establishing an implant or system.
