difundem

Difundem is a Portuguese verb form meaning “they disseminate” or “they spread.” It is the present indicative third-person plural form of the verb difundir, which means to disseminate, spread, or propagate information, knowledge, or media content. The verb derives from Latin diffundere, combining a sense of pouring out or distributing widely.

Usage and meaning: Difundem is transitive and used with direct objects such as informações, notícias, dados, conteúdos, campanhas, or ideias. In formal and journalistic writing, it often describes the intentional distribution of information through channels like press releases, reports, and online media.

Examples: Os órgãos de imprensa difundem informações ao público. Pesquisadores difundem seus resultados por meio de artigos e conferências. As autoridades difundem orientações de segurança durante emergências.

Relation to related terms: Difundir is the general verb for disseminating or spreading and is commonly used across media, academia, and industry. Synonyms include propagar, espalhar e divulgar. Difundir tends to emphasize propagation through channels and reach, while divulgar centers on making information known or public, sometimes with a focus on disclosure.

Conjugation note: In the present tense, other common forms of the same verb include eu difundo, tu difundes, ele difunde, nós difundimos, eles difundem. Difundem is therefore the standard form used with third-person plural subjects such as eles or vocês.
