Partilhando

Partilhando is the gerund form of the Portuguese verb partilhar, meaning to share. It denotes the action of giving a portion of something to others or making information, resources, or experiences accessible. The term is widely used in Lusophone contexts to describe collaborative behavior, mutual exchange, or the dissemination of content.

Grammatical notes: As a gerund, partilhando is used to express ongoing action in present contexts. In European Portuguese, the progressive sense is often formed with estar a + infinitive, as in estou a partilhar. In Brazilian Portuguese, the simple gerund form partilhando is common: estou partilhando. The related nouns include a partilha (the act of sharing or a share) and o partilhamento (the process or act of sharing, often used in computing and data contexts).

Usage and scope: The word covers sharing of physical resources, information, digital content, and collective consumption. In technology and social media, partilhar or the equivalent form is frequent for links, files, or knowledge; in everyday life, it can mean distributing food, costs, or experiences.

Examples: Ela está partilhando as notas com a turma. Estamos a partilhar uma refeição entre amigos. O site incentiva a partilha de código aberto.
