descartas

Descartas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb descartar, meaning you discard or you rule out. It is used with the subject tú, though the subject is often omitted in everyday speech. For example: Tú descartas las opciones menos viables.

In Portuguese, descartas also appears as the second-person singular present indicative in the informal form tu descartas, meaning you discard. In European Portuguese this form is used in informal speech, while in Brazilian Portuguese the usual equivalent is you descartas? No, the Brazilian standard is você descarta. Example: Tu descartas as hipóteses.

Descartas is therefore primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, and it does not function as a proper noun in common usage. It can appear in linguistic descriptions of Spanish or Portuguese verb conjugation or in quoted speech where the informal second-person singular is used. The form should not be confused with Descartes, the surname of the 17th‑century philosopher René Descartes, which is a distinct proper noun.

In summary, Descar tas represents a common conjugated form of a regular -ar verb in two Romance languages, serving to indicate the action of discarding by the person addressed. Its meaning and usage are tied to the verb’s regular semantics, with regional variations in pronoun use across Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities.
