possuírem

Possuírem is a Portuguese verb meaning "to possess," "to own," or "to have." It is a regular verb in the third-person plural of the infinitive, derived from the verb "possuir." The verb "possuir" itself comes from the Latin word "possidere," which also means "to possess."

In usage, "possuírem" typically appears in contexts where a group of people or entities are described as owning or having something. For example, "Os alunos irão possuírem novos livros" translates to "The students will possess new books." It can also be used to indicate a state of being or a characteristic that a group holds, such as "Eles parecem possuírem uma grande felicidade" meaning "They seem to possess great happiness."

The verb can be conjugated in various tenses and moods, always maintaining its core meaning of possession or ownership. Its grammatical function is to express that a subject, when plural, has or owns an object or attribute. Unlike some English verbs that can be used reflexively to imply self-possession, "possuírem" in Portuguese generally does not take a reflexive pronoun unless the context specifically implies a mutual possession among the subjects.
