aborde

Aborde is a conjugated form of several Romance verbs, most commonly French aborder, Spanish abordar, and Portuguese abordar. In these languages the meaning of aborde changes with mood and context. In French, aborder means to approach, to tackle a topic, or to board a ship. The form aborde can be the third-person singular present indicative: il aborde le problème, and it also serves as the informal imperative for the tu subject: Aborde ce sujet.

In Spanish and Portuguese contexts, aborde appears as a present subjunctive form (Spanish: que él aborde; Portuguese: que ele aborde) or as the formal imperative for usted/você (Aborde). In these languages, the sense ranges from addressing a matter to boarding a vessel, depending on the verb. Because it is a verb form, aborde is not a standalone lexical item in these languages and is typically found within longer sentences or as part of dictionary entries for the corresponding verb abordar.

In English contexts, aborde typically arises only as a translation or transliteration of the respective conjugated forms, and it does not function as an English word with its own entry. It is primarily encountered in multilingual texts or grammatical explanations that discuss the conjugations of abordar or aborder.
