rede

Rede is a term that appears in different languages with distinct meanings. In German, Rede is a formal noun meaning a speech or address spoken in public. It is used in political, ceremonial, and rhetorical contexts. Common phrases include eine Rede halten (to deliver a speech) and Rede und Gegenrede (the exchange of arguments for and against). The word is capitalized as a noun in German.

In Portuguese, rede means network or net. It is used for computer networks, telecommunications networks, and social networks, as in rede de computadores or rede social. The term also appears in the names of organizations and media brands; for example, Rede Globo is a major Brazilian television network. In ordinary text, rede is written lowercase, but it appears capitalized in proper names as part of branding.
