lembrou

Lembrou is the third-person singular form of the Portuguese verb lembrar in the pretérito perfeito, used to express that someone remembered something or reminded someone else of something in the past. The verb lembrar means to remember or to remind.

In usage, lembrou can indicate a recalled fact or event. It can also mean that someone reminded another person of something. For example: Ele lembrou do compromisso pela manhã. (He remembered the appointment in the morning.) Ela lembrou que precisava pagar a conta. (She remembered that she needed to pay the bill.) O gerente lembrou aos funcionários de entregar o relatório até sexta-feira. (The manager reminded the employees to submit the report by Friday.)

Conjugation notes: lembrou is the pretérito perfeito singular form corresponding to ele/ela/você. The related present-tense form is lembra (ele lembra), while the infinitive is lembrar. The verb follows regular -ar conjugation patterns in most tenses, with accent and nasal spelling present in some forms (for example, eu lembro, tu lembras, nós lembramos).

Regional and stylistic notes: lembrar and lembrou are common across Brazilian and European Portuguese. In some contexts, especially informal speech, speakers may use alternative constructions to convey remembrance or reminders, but lembrou remains a standard and widely understood form for past recollection or reminder.
