conheceis

Conheceis is a verb form in Portuguese that comes from the verb conhecer, meaning “to know.” It represents a specific conjugation rather than a standalone noun or term.

Grammatical role and usage. Con cheat: It is the second-person plural form used with the pronoun vós, corresponding to “you all know” in English. In contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, the vós form is rarely used in everyday speech, and the modern equivalent for addressing multiple people is typically vocês conhecem. In many European Portuguese contexts, especially in formal or literary writing, vós forms such as conhecéis or related vós forms can still appear.

Etymology and related forms. The root conhec- comes from the Latin cognoscere, historically evolving into the Portuguese conhecer. Conjugations of this verb span all standard tenses and moods, with voces/ vocês forms prevailing in modern speech, while vós forms persist mainly in more conservative or written registers.

Pronunciation and spelling notes. The form is spelled with the sequence ceis at the end and is part of the traditional vós paradigm. Pronunciation varies by dialect, but it is generally treated as a distinct archaic or regional form in most contemporary contexts.

Usage notes. Conje: Confe: Confronting modern usage, writers often replace a vós form with the equivalent você/ vocês forms. Con nos: When encountered in historical, literary, or religious texts, conheceis signals the preserved older form of address. It is not typical in everyday conversation across contemporary Brazilian or many urban European varieties.

Examples:

- Vós conheceis os segredos deste lugar. (archaic/literary)

- Hoje em dia, vocês conhecem bem as regras. (modern equivalent)
