incluem

Incluem is a verb form in Portuguese. It is the third person plural present indicative of the verb incluir, meaning to include or to contain as part of a group or set. The form is used with subjects such as eles, elas, or vocês, to say that they include something in a list, a package, a report, or a collection.

Etymology and definition: incluir comes from Latin includere, formed from in- (in, into) and cludere (to close). The modern Portuguese verb preserves the general sense of placing something within a larger whole, rather than merely placing it outside.

Conjugation and usage notes: Incluem appears in contemporary Brazilian and European Portuguese in the sense of “they include.” Other present forms include eu incluo (I include), tu incluis or você inclui (you include), nós incluímos (we include). Knowing the full conjugation helps with subject-verb agreement in formal writing, reports, or formal speech. The word is commonly used across domains such as business, education, science, and media to indicate that certain items are part of a set or document. Its negative counterpart is não incluem.

Examples: They include several options in the package. As estatísticas incluem dados de 2020 a 2024. O relatório inclui as cláusulas adicionais. In formal text, inclinam-se variations for other tenses and moods are used similarly to indicate inclusion within a broader scope.

See also: incluir, inclusão, incluo, inclui, incluem. This term is part of standard Portuguese vocabulary and is used widely in both written and spoken Portuguese to convey inclusion within a defined set or collection.
