inclui

Inclui is a form in Portuguese. It is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb incluir, meaning to include or to bring within. It is used when the subject is he, she, or you (formal). For example: o preço inclui IVA. The infinitive is incluir, and the related noun is inclusão.

Etymology and meaning: incluir derives from Latin includere, formed from in- “in” + cludere “to close.” Over time, the term acquired the sense of bringing something into a group, a list, or a larger whole, rather than merely enclosing it physically.

Usage and scope: incluir is a transitive verb. It takes a direct object to specify what is being brought in or counted as part of something. In legal, administrative, and everyday language, incluir is commonly used to state that certain items, conditions, or clauses are part of a package, document, or rule. Synonyms in Portuguese include conter, abranger, and integrar, depending on nuance.

Conjugation note: aside from a few dialectal variations, a standard present tense form corresponding to this entry is ele/ela/você inclui, while other conjugations exist for eu incluo, nós incluímos, eles incluem. The form inclui thus appears frequently in notices, contracts, and descriptions to indicate included elements.

Related terms: inclusão (the noun for the act of including), incluir (the infinitive), conteúdo (content), cobertura (coverage) in some contexts. See also cláusula de inclusão and lista de itens incluídos.
