busque

Busque is a conjugated form of the verb buscar in Portuguese and Spanish. In both languages, it centers on the action of looking for or seeking something and appears in several moods and persons.

In Portuguese, busque is the affirmative imperative form used with você to give a direct command, as in Busque informações. It is also the present subjunctive form, used after expressions such as espero que você busque aconselhamento or é importante que ele busque ajuda. This subjunctive function appears in subordinate clauses expressing desire, doubt, or possibility.

In Spanish, busque functions as the formal imperative for usted, as in Busque asesoría. It also appears as the present subjunctive form (for yo, él, or usted) in clauses introduced by que, for example Es necesario que él busque soluciones or Espero que yo busque respuestas. The same spelling covers both the imperative and the subjunctive forms, with meaning determined by syntactic context.

Differences between the languages lie mainly in usage and pronoun reference: Portuguese uses busque as the command form for you, while Spanish uses it for a polite formal address (usted). The form is otherwise tied to the root verb buscar in each language’s conjugation patterns. Outside grammatical contexts, busque may occasionally appear as a surname or place name, but it is primarily recognized as a verb form.
