concordámos

Concordámos is a Portuguese verb form meaning we agreed or we concurred. It is the first person plural in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo (simple past) of the verb concordar, which means to agree or to be in agreement. The form signals a completed action of agreement by the group including the speaker.

Etymology and conjugation context: Concordar comes from Latin concordare, combining con- (together) with cordis (heart) in sense of harmony. Concordámos is a regular form for -ar verbs in the first person plural in many Portuguese varieties. The corresponding present tense form is concordamos (we agree). The orthography with an acute accent on the ó is typical in European Portuguese to mark the past tense, helping distinguish it from the present tense in writing.

Usage and dialectal notes: In Portugal, concordámos is the standard spelling for the pretérito perfeito do indicativo. In Brazilian Portuguese, the distinction between past and present is often conveyed by context rather than accent, and concordamos can be used for both present and past in ordinary writing, with clarified meaning from context or additional time markers. In formal writing, some contexts may still employ concordámos to explicitly indicate past action.

Example sentences: Ontem, concordámos com a proposta apresentada. Vamos revisar os termos antes de concordarmos com o acordo final.
