lús

Lês is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Portuguese verb ler, meaning to read. It is used with the pronoun tu and translates to "you read" in English.

Usage varies by region. In Portugal and in parts of Brazil that maintain the tu form, lês is standard. In most Brazilian Portuguese, the familiar form is você lê, while tu lês is less common.

Conjugation in the present indicative: eu leio, tu lês, ele lê, nós lemos, vocês leem. The root is le-, with the typical -er verb endings, and a vowel change in some forms.

Pronunciation and spelling: lês uses the ê in the stem to mark the stressed vowel; the final s is the regular plural ending seen in the present indicative forms for this verb.

Etymology: ler comes from Latin legere, and lês is a direct present-tense form, related to lê (he reads), leitor (reader), and leitura (reading).
