recobrimos

Recobrimos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Portuguese verb recobrir, meaning to cover again or to coat anew. It is used when the subject (we) performs the action of applying a new covering to something.

The verb recobrir is formed from the prefix re- added to cobrir (to cover). In standard Portuguese, the present indicative forms are eu recobro, tu recobres, ele recobre, nós recobrimos, vós recobris, eles recobrem. Recobrimos, therefore, is used when the subject is plural and performing the action in the present.

In usage, recobrimos can denote literal coverings, such as applying a fresh layer of paint, varnish, or fabric, or more figurative coverings, like adding a new layer of protection or concealment in a textual or descriptive sense. It is common in contexts involving maintenance, restoration, or preparation of surfaces.

Example sentences: Nós recobrimos o telhado com novas telhas. Nós recobrimos a superfície com uma camada de verniz.

Recobrir is recognized as standard in both Brazilian and European Portuguese, and recobrimos appears in formal and informal writing wherever the sense of renewing a coating is appropriate. Some speakers may opt for simpler expressions such as cobrir de novo in everyday speech, but recobrir and its conjugations remain part of standard usage.
