adiciono

Adiciono is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Portuguese verb adicionar, meaning to add or to append. It is commonly used to indicate that the speaker is adding ingredients, items, or elements in a process. For example, Adiciono açúcar ao café means I am adding sugar to the coffee.

The verb adicionar is a regular -ar verb. In the present indicative, its standard forms are: eu adiciono; tu adicionas; ele/ela adiciona; nós adicionamos; vós adicionais; eles/elas adicionam. In everyday Brazilian Portuguese, the pronoun você is often used instead of tu, producing você adiciona, and vocês adicionam in the plural.

Etymology and usage notes: adicionar comes from Latin roots related to addition, and is part of the -ar verb conjugation pattern common to many Romance languages. The form adiciono specifically encodes the subject “I” and is widely understood in both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese contexts.

In addition to culinary or ingredient contexts, adiciono can appear in broader settings where items are added to a collection, list, or dataset, such as software, documents, or numerical sums. It remains a neutral, standard form suitable for formal and informal writing whenever the speaker is performing the action of adding.
