enviando

Enviando is the gerund form of the verb enviar in Portuguese and Spanish. It expresses the action of sending or transmitting something that is in progress, and is commonly translated as "sending" in English. The term is used to indicate ongoing activity in many contexts.

In Portuguese, enviando appears with forms of estar to form the present progressive: "Estou enviando o pacote agora." It can also occur in other tenses with auxiliary verbs to emphasize ongoing action. The gerund is not typically used as a noun; the standard noun for the act of sending is envio. The word is common in everyday speech and digital communication, such as emails, messages, or logistics updates, where it signals that the item is still in transit or being transmitted.

In Spanish, enviando is the gerund of enviar and serves a similar purpose. With estar it forms the present progressive: "Estoy enviando un correo." In many dialects, enviando is standard in informal speech, although some speakers prefer mandando in colloquial contexts. Like its Portuguese counterpart, it denotes an ongoing action and is rarely used as a noun; the noun for the act is envío, or el envío.

Common contexts include email, postal services, e-commerce, and media production, where enviando communicates that content or a package is in the process of being transmitted or delivered.
