gerenciou

Gerenciou is a verb form in Portuguese, the third-person singular pretérito perfeito do indicativo of the verb gerenciar. It translates to “he managed,” “she managed,” or, in Brazilian Portuguese usage, “you managed.” The verb gerenciar itself means to manage, oversee, administer, or run a project, team, or organization.

Usage and regional notes: Gerenciar is widely used in Brazilian Portuguese, especially in business, administrative, and contemporary contexts. In Portugal, the related verb gerir is more common for “to manage,” though gerenciar is increasingly heard in modern usage. Gerenciou appears in narrative past tense to describe a completed action in the past: for example, “Ela gerenciou a equipe com eficiência.”

Conjugation and examples: Gerenciar is a regular -ar verb. In the pretérito perfeito, the forms include eu Gerenciei, tu gerenciaste, ele/ela/você gerenciou, nós gerenciamos, vós gerenciastes, eles/elas gerenciaram. Example: “Ele gerenciou o projeto com resultados positivos” meaning he managed the project with positive results.

Related terms: The noun gerência refers to management or management capacity, and the adjective gerente denotes a manager or administrator. The verb gerir is another Portuguese option meaning “to manage,” used more commonly in European Portuguese.

Etymology: Gerenciar derives from the noun gerência, which in turn is linked to the concept of management; it reflects borrowing from terms like the French gérance (management) and related Latin-root ideas of bearing, handling, or overseeing.
