garantindo

Garantindo is the gerund form of the Portuguese verb garantir, meaning "guaranteeing" or "ensuring." It expresses ongoing action and can be used with auxiliary forms (for example, estar + gerund) to indicate a progressive aspect, as in "Ele está garantindo..." It can also serve as a participial phrase, often translating as "by guaranteeing" or "while guaranteeing" when linked to another clause.

Etymology and cognates: The verb garantir belongs to the Romance language family and has cognates in other languages, such as Spanish garantizar, French garantir, and Italian garantire. The related noun garantia means "guarantee" or "warranty."

Usage: Garantindo commonly introduces actions that are being carried out to secure a result, such as quality, safety, or delivery. Examples: "Ele está garantindo o pagamento aos fornecedores." "A empresa está garantindo a qualidade do produto." "Estamos garantindo que as normas serão seguidas." In Brazilian Portuguese, the gerund is widely used in everyday speech, though some formal style guides advise using alternative constructions to avoid possible ambiguity or redundancy.
