descrevi

Descrevi is the first-person singular form of the Portuguese verb descrever in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo, corresponding to “I described” in English. It denotes a completed action in the past, typically used when recounting a description that the speaker gave at a specific past time or as part of a narrative.

The verb descrever means to give an account of the features, characteristics, or details of something, often in written or spoken form. Etymology traces the word to Latin describere, from de- plus scribere (to write); over time it acquired the sense of detailing or characterizing.

Conjugation in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo is regular: eu descrevi, tu descreveste, ele descreveu, nós descrevemos, vós descrevestes, eles descreveram. The past participle is descrito, and other tenses and moods follow the standard patterns of descrever, such as descrevendo (gerund) and descrevo (present). The word is commonly used in journalism, academia, literature, and everyday speech to report actions of describing that occurred in the past.
