organizase

Organizase is a verbal form in Portuguese that corresponds to the imperfect subjunctive of the verb organizar (to organize). It is used in subordinate clauses to express hypothetical or uncertain actions, wishes, or conditions, typically following verbs of doubt, desire, necessity, or after conjunctions such as se or para que.

Conjugation in the imperfect subjunctive of organizar includes the following forms: eu organizasse, tu organizasses, ele/ela organizasse, nós organizássemos, vós organizásseis, eles/elas organizassem. This set is used in dependent clauses after expressions that require the subjunctive mood, for example in sentences that discuss what someone would do under certain conditions or what would be the case if something were different.

Etymology and related forms: organizar derives from the Latin organum, through a development that yields the modern Portuguese sense of arranging, systematizing, or coordinating elements into a coherent whole. Related nouns include organização (organization) and organizado (organized), which share the same root and semantic field.

Usage notes: Organize in the imperfect subjunctive is commonly found in written Portuguese, especially in formal or literary contexts, and in clauses that express hypothetical conditions, wishes, or reported speech about past possibilities. It contrasts with the present subjunctive organize and with other past tenses that convey different nuances of time and certainty.

Examples:

- Se eu organizasse a agenda, conseguiria cumprir o prazo.

- Era necessário que eles organizassem a equipe com mais eficiência para o evento.
