Usage-wise, percebemos is used to express that a group becomes aware of something. It can refer to sensory perception, as in noticing a sound or odor, or to cognitive understanding, as in realizing a situation: “Nós percebemos que algo está errado.” The form is common in everyday speech and writing in Brazilian and European Portuguese, with nuance depending on context.
