criamos

Criamos is a conjugated form of the Portuguese verb criar. It is used with the subject nós and typically appears as the present indicative meaning “we create” or “we are creating.” In some dialects, notably in European Portuguese, it also serves as the pretérito perfeito simples, meaning “we created.” Because of regional variation, the same spelling can carry different temporal meanings depending on context.

Etymology and meaning: criar comes from Latin creāre and shares a semantic field with creation, upbringing, and production. The verb covers a broad range of uses, including making or producing something (we create a plan), bringing up or breeding (we raise animals or children), and developing ideas or procedures (we create opportunities or policies). The participle and related nouns form a semantic network around creation and cultivation: criação (creation), criador (creator), criado (created or raised).

Usage notes: criar is a regular -ar verb, so criamos follows standard conjugation patterns for this class. In practice, the form criamos is common in Brazilian Portuguese as present tense, while European Portuguese contexts may differentiate between present and past with diacritical marks or different constructions. The exact temporal interpretation of criamos depends on the broader sentence and region.
