Nasço

Nasço is a verb form in Portuguese. It is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb nascer, which means to be born or to come into existence. The form is used with the subject eu and is derived from Latin nasci.

Pronunciation and orthography: Nasço is pronounced [ˈna.su], with the letter ç indicating an [s] sound before o. The accent mark on the stem reflects stress typically on the first syllable.

Etymology: Nascer comes from Latin nasci, related to words for birth and origin such as nascimento. The form nasço is a direct inflection used in the present tense.

Conjugation: Present indicative forms include eu nasço, tu nasces, ele nasce, nós nascemos, vós nasceis (archaic or formal in Portugal), vocês nascem, eles nascem. In modern everyday Portuguese, the second-person plural form is often avoided in favor of você/vocês, which use the third-person plural conjugation (nasce, nascem).

Usage: Nasço is primarily used to express birth or emergence from a source when the subject is the speaker. It can appear in more poetic or figurative contexts to denote coming into existence or beginning. In everyday speech, the related verb nascer is more commonly used in its other forms, such as eu nasci to indicate past birth.

See also: nascer, nascimento, nascente.

Notes: Nasço is a standard, correct inflection in Brazilian and European Portuguese, though regional variations exist, especially for the second-person forms. The word is often encountered in dictionaries, grammars, and linguistic discussions of Portuguese verb conjugation.
