recusamos

Recusamos is a Portuguese verb form meaning "we refuse" or "we reject." It is the first-person plural present indicative of the verb recusar, used to indicate that a group or collective does not accept a proposal, idea, or action. The form is common in formal statements, press releases, organizational communications, and everyday speech to express collective refusal or opposition.

Grammatical notes: Recusamos functions as a finite verb and typically requires a direct object to specify what is being refused. Examples include: "Recusamos a proposta" (We refuse the proposal) and "Recusamos qualquer acordo que comprometa nossos princípios." The tone can range from neutral to emphatic, depending on context and punctuation. In written text, it may appear as a standalone declarative sentence or as part of a longer clause.

Etymology: Recusar comes from Latin recusare, meaning to refuse or reject. The present form recusamos is formed by adding the standard -ar verb endings to the stem recus-. The usage of this form is consistent across Portuguese-speaking regions, including Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone communities, though regional style and tone may vary.
