alinho

Alinho is a Portuguese term that primarily appears as a verb form. It denotes the first-person singular present indicative of alinhar, the verb that means to align, to line up, or to place in a straight line. The action can refer to arranging objects, coordinating plans, or bringing elements into agreement or order.

In usage, alinho is used to indicate that the speaker is performing the act of aligning in the present. Examples include phrases like “Eu alinho as peças” (I align the pieces) or “Eu alinho meus objetivos com minhas prioridades” (I align my goals with my priorities). The form is part of regular -ar verb conjugation, following standard Portuguese inflection.

Conjugation (present indicative, examples): eu alinho; tu alinhas; ele/ela alinha; nós alinhamos; vós alinháis; eles/elas alinham. Note that the tu form is alinhas and the vós form, when used, is alinháis in some varieties of European Portuguese.

Related forms include alinhamento (alignment), alinhado/alinhada (aligned), and desalinhamento (misalignment). These derivatives expand the conceptual field from the act of aligning to the state or process of alignment.
