Reporta

Reporta is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb reportar, meaning to report or to convey information. It is also the second-person formal present in the same form when used with usted, as in “usted reporta.” The present tense forms are: yo reporto, tú reportas, él/ella/usted reporta, nosotros reportamos, vosotros reportáis, ellos/ellas/ustedes reportan.

Etymology and usage notes: reportar comes from the Latin reportare, built from re- “back” and portare “to carry,” with the sense of bringing back information. In contemporary Spanish, reporta is used to indicate that the subject is currently communicating findings, results, or news. It appears in journalism, business reporting, scientific documentation, and everyday speech. For example: “El gerente reporta los resultados del trimestre” or “Ella reporta a su supervisor cada semana.” In compound tenses, related forms include “ha reportado” (present perfect) and “reportaba” (imperfect).

Variants and related forms: As a verb, reporta is part of a larger paradigm that includes forms such as reporto, reportas, reportamos, and reportan. Correct usage depends on the subject and the level of formality (tú vs. usted) in a sentence. While primarily a verb form, it does not function as an independent noun and should be understood contextually as a verb conjugation in most texts.
