arrumámos

Arrumámos is a Portuguese verb form. It is the first-person plural (nós) pretérito perfeito simples of the verb arrumar, meaning to tidy up, arrange, or fix. This form is standard in European Portuguese and appears in formal writing and speech. In Brazilian Portuguese, the corresponding form is arrumamos, without an accent.

The tense conveys a completed action in the past. It is used to indicate that “we tidied up” or “we arranged” something at a specific past moment or during a past period. The range of meanings covers physical cleaning and organization as well as broader preparation or fixing tasks, such as arranging a space, setting up items, or preparing arrangements.

Orthography and regional variation are notable. The acute accent on the á in arrumámos marks the stressed syllable and is typical of European Portuguese spelling for this tense. In Brazilian Portuguese, the same verb form is written arrumamos, reflecting different orthographic conventions.

Examples in context include: “Nós arrumámos o quarto antes que os convidados chegassem” and “Nós arrumámos as coisas depois do evento.” Both illustrate a completed past action performed by a group. Arrumar is a regular -ar verb, so arrumámos follows the standard conjugation pattern for the nós form in the pretérito perfeito simples.
