aborreceu

Aborreceu is the third-person singular form of the Portuguese verb aborrecer in the pretérito perfeito (past simple). The verb aborrecer means to bore, to annoy, or to displease someone, and aborreceu is used to indicate that action occurred in the past and affected another person or group with irritation or dullness. The sense can range from mild annoyance to strong discomfort, depending on context.

Usage and nuance: Aborrecer is typically used when something causes annoyance or tediousness, rather than simply causing mild irritation. For example, “Ele aborreceu o colega com perguntas repetidas” emphasizes that the repeated questions irritated the colleague. “O atraso do trem aborreceu os passageiros” highlights discomfort or dissatisfaction among the passengers. In some contexts, aborrecer can express a strong sense of aversion or disgust, similar to objections to something deemed disagreeable or tiresome.

Grammar notes: Aborreceu is the past tense form for he/she/it. The infinitive is aborrecer. Other forms follow regular -er verb conjugation patterns, with present and other past tenses varying by subject. Related words include the adjective aborrecido (bored or annoyed) and the noun aborrecimento (annoyance or boredom). The reflexive form aborrecer-se is used to describe becoming bored or disgusted with something.

See also: aborrecimento, aborrecido, aborrecer-se. These terms are commonly found in discussions of mood, irritants, or tedious situations in Portuguese-language texts.
