realças

Realças is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Portuguese verb realçar, meaning to highlight, emphasize, or bring out. It is used when the subject is the informal pronoun tu, as in tu realças, or in regions where the tu form is common. In Brazilian Portuguese, the more widespread informal form is você realça, while tu realças appears regionally or in formal-written contexts.

Realçar is a regular -ar verb. Its full present indicative paradigm is eu realço, tu realças, ele/ela realça, nós realçamos, vós realçais, eles/elas realçam. The form realças therefore functions to express a present action performed by the person addressed.

In usage, realçar can apply to visual features, arguments, or aspects that are made more noticeable. Examples: Tu realças as cores da pintura; Ao realçar os traços, a imagem ganha mais contraste. The term also appears in journalism, design, advertising, and everyday speech to describe the act of drawing attention to something.

Notes:

- Realças is not a noun; the corresponding noun form is realce (plural realces).

- In many parts of Brazil, the informal tu form is less common, and realça (third-person singular) is often used with você in everyday speech.
