corre

Corre is a form of the verb correr used in Spanish and Portuguese. Both languages derive from the Latin currere and use the verb to express movement by running. In Spanish, corre is the third-person singular present indicative form (él/ella/usted corre) and also the informal second-person singular imperative meaning “Run!” as in ¡Corre! In Portuguese, corre is the third-person singular present indicative (ele/ela corre) and can function as the informal imperative in everyday speech.

In practical use, corre appears in everyday sentences, sports contexts, and actions describing physical movement. For example, Spanish sentences such as “Él corre todas las mañanas” mean “He runs every morning,” while Portuguese sentences like “Ela corre todos os dias” translate to “She runs every day.” The word is common in urgent or instructional contexts, where it serves to urge someone to hurry or begin a action.

Etymologically, corre shares its root with related forms of correr in Romance languages. It participates in a range of derivative terms that describe someone who runs (such as corredor) or a running event (such as carrera) in various dialects, reflecting its core meaning of movement by running.
