produzimos

Produzimos is a Portuguese verb form derived from produzir. It is the first-person plural of the verb in two tenses: the present indicative (we produce) and the pretérito perfeito do indicativo (we produced). Because the spelling is identical for both tenses, the intended meaning is determined by context and time expressions.

Etymology and family: produzir comes from Latin producere, meaning “to lead forth” or “to produce.” The form produzimos shares its root with related words such as produção (production) and produtor (producer).

Usage and note on ambiguity: In European and Brazilian Portuguese, produksi is used in formal and informal writing as well as in spoken language to refer to the act of producing or the act of having produced. Distinction between the present and past senses relies on temporal adverbs or broader discourse context. In some regional varieties, speakers may replace the first-person plural with alternatives like “a gente produz” in informal Brazilian Portuguese, but the form “produzimos” remains standard in formal contexts.

Examples:

- Present: Hoje nós produzimos mais itens do que no mês passado.

- Past: Ontem nós produzimos 150 unidades.

Related forms: produzir (infinitive), produção (production), produtor (producer).
