redueixo

Redueixo is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Catalan verb reduir, meaning to reduce, diminish, or lower. It is used to describe actions by the speaker in the present or general statements about reducing something. As the yo form, redueixo shows a distinct ending compared with other persons of the same tense.

In present tense conjugation, the forms are jo redueixo, tu redueixes, ell redueix, nosaltres reduïm, vosaltres reduïu, ells redueixen. The yo form redueixo is notable for its -eixo ending, and the other forms follow patterns that may include the diaeresis in reduïm and reduïeu to indicate syllable separation. The verb reduir itself comes from Latin reducere, and Catalan maintains a set of irregularities and stem changes characteristic of -ir verbs with derived forms in the present indicative.

Usage and scope: reduir and its forms are common in contexts involving lowering quantities, costs, dimensions, intensity, or numbers, as well as metaphorical reductions. The word appears in formal writing, media, and everyday speech, including technical, economic, and policy-related discussions.

Examples: redueixo el consum d'energia a casa; aquesta setmana redueixes la despesa. These illustrate applying the action of reducing to practical contexts. The verb is part of standard Catalan grammar and is taught as part of essential verb conjugation for learners of the language.
