Utilizaremse

Utilizarem-se is the pronominal infinitive form of the verb utilizar in Portuguese, formed by the infinitive with the reflexive pronoun se attached. It expresses actions performed by the subject on itself or, in some contexts, a reciprocal or passive sense. The standard spelling uses a hyphen to connect the verb to the enclitic pronoun, as in utilizarem-se.

In terms of grammar, utilizarem-se is associated with the infinitivo pessoal or with subjunctive contexts where the pronoun remains attached to the infinitive form. It is most commonly encountered in formal, legal, technical, or academic writing, and in some bureaucratic or instructional texts. The form allows a concise way to refer to a subject performing an action on itself, or to indicate a set of resources or procedures that are to be used by the participants themselves.

Examples of use include:

- É essencial utilizarem-se dos recursos disponíveis para completar o projeto.

- Os participantes devem utilizarem-se de técnicas adequadas para alcançar os resultados.

Many contemporary style guides prefer simpler constructions in everyday writing, such as utilizar-se dos recursos or usar os recursos disponíveis, especially to avoid potential ambiguity or complexity. The choice between utilizarem-se and alternative phrasings often depends on formality, regional practice, and the exact nuance desired (reflexive/reciprocal action, passive sense, or impersonal instruction).
