recebes

Recebes is a Portuguese verb form meaning “you receive.” It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb receber, used with the pronoun tu in European Portuguese. In Brazilian Portuguese, the corresponding present tense with the pronoun você is recebe, and the tu form is less common in everyday speech.

Conjugation and usage: receber is an regular -er verb, and its present indicative forms are: eu recebo, tu recebes, ele recebe, nós recebemos, vós recebeis, eles recebem. Recebes appears in sentences such as “Tu recebes a carta?” meaning “Do you receive the letter?” It is most typical in regions or contexts that retain the informal tu form; in many Brazilian varieties, speakers would typically use “você recebe.”

Etymology: the verb receber derives from Latin recipere, meaning “to take back, to receive,” passing into Portuguese through the various Romance-language lineages and evolving into the modern form receber with the present-tense paradigm including recebes.

Notes: recebes is not a noun or a standalone place name in standard usage; it is specifically a verb form. It can appear in both written and spoken Portuguese, especially in texts or dialogue that depict European Portuguese or regional Brazilian speech where tu is used.
