Preenchendo

Preenchendo is the gerund form of the Portuguese verb preencher, meaning the act of filling in or completing something. It can refer to filling out a form, supplying data, or occupying a space. The term also appears as part of the noun preenchimento, referring to the result or process of filling, and as a medical aesthetic term for dermal fillers.

The verb preencher is formed from the prefix pre- plus encher (to fill), yielding preencher meaning to fill in, to complete, or to fill out a form. The gerund preenchendo denotes ongoing action: “Ele está preenchendo o formulário.” The related noun preenchimento denotes the act of filling or the material used to fill (as in dermal fillers).

Typical contexts include data entry and forms in administrative or software settings: “preenchendo os campos do formulário,” “Ela está preenchendo a ficha cadastral.” In medicine and cosmetics, preenchimento is a common term for dermal filler procedures, e.g., “preenchimento facial” or “preenchimento com ácido hialurônico.”

Regional usage varies: Brazilian Portuguese favors the gerund form with estar, as in “está preenchendo.” European Portuguese often uses “estar a preencher” or, less commonly, “está preenchendo” depending on style. In all cases, preencher is the standard verb, with preenchendo as its progressive form and preenchimento as the noun.
