garantiu

Garantiu is the third-person singular preterite (past) indicative form of the Portuguese verb garantir, meaning to guarantee, ensure, or secure. It indicates that the subject guaranteed something in the past.

In both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, garantiu is used to report assurances or promises that were made previously. The related verb is garantir (to guarantee); the noun form is garantia (guarantee). Other related forms include garanto (I guarantee) and garante (he/she guarantees).

Usage examples illustrate its typical function: Ele garantiu a entrega no prazo. (He guaranteed delivery on the deadline.) A empresa garantiu a qualidade do produto. (The company guaranteed the quality of the product.) The form can appear in statements about assurances, commitments, or assurances that a condition was met in the past.

Notes: Garantiu is strictly a verb form and does not function as a noun. It requires subject-verb agreement with the pronoun or noun it refers to, and its tense is limited to the preterite indicative.
