chegando

Chegando is the gerund form of the Portuguese verb chegar, meaning to arrive or to reach. It commonly marks an action in progress, as in estar chegando (I am arriving), and it is also used in promotional and journalistic language to signal that something is coming soon, such as a release, event, or product.

Examples in everyday use include: Estou chegando em casa. A entrega está chegando hoje. O novo filme está chegando aos cinemas na próxima semana. In marketing and media, chegándo is often found in phrases like Chegando em breve aos cinemas or Novidades chegando to indicate upcoming availability.

Regional variation shapes its use. In Brazilian Portuguese, the gerund is widely used to express ongoing action (for example, está chegando). In European Portuguese, progressive aspect is often rendered with estar a + infinitive (está a chegar), though the gerund form also appears in informal speech and contemporary writing.

Translations and related terms: chegado/chegada denote arrival or reaching as nouns, while chegar is the base verb meaning to arrive. The word is commonly encountered in everyday conversation, media, and marketing to convey motion toward a destination or the imminence of a forthcoming event.
