exibem

Exibem is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Portuguese verb exibir, meaning they display or they exhibit. It is used with plural subjects to describe the action of showing or presenting something in the present tense.

Etymology and form: Exibir comes from the Latin exhibere, meaning to present or to show. In modern Portuguese, the verb follows the regular -ir verb conjugation pattern in the present tense for the third-person plural: eu exibo, tu exibes, ele exibe, nós exibimos, vós exibis, eles/elas exibem. The ending -em marks the 3rd person plural in this conjugation.

Usage and examples: Exibem is commonly found in everyday and formal texts alike. Examples include: "Os quadros exibem várias técnicas de pintura" (The paintings display several painting techniques) and "Os dados exibem uma tendência de crescimento" (The data show a growth trend). It can describe physical display, presentation of information, or display of characteristics and results.

Context and nuances: Although exibem translates as “they display,” the nuance can vary from literal showing to presenting information or making something accessible to an audience. It is not a standalone noun or proper noun; rather, it is a grammatical form used within sentences.
