refaz

Refaz is a Portuguese verb form derived from refazer, meaning to redo or to make again. In everyday use, it expresses repeating an action, correcting a previous result, or rebuilding something. For example, Ele refaz o serviço after reviewing the work, or Ela refaz o mapa com as informações atualizadas. In Brazilian Portuguese, refaz is typically the present indicative form used with ele, ela, or você.

Etymology and related forms: The word comes from the prefix re- (again) combined with fazer (to do/make). The infinitive is refazer, the gerund is refazendo, and the past participle is refazido. These related forms are used to describe ongoing, ongoing-repeated, or completed redo actions, such as refazendo o percurso or já refazido o relatório.

Usage and nuance: Refaz is common in technical, academic, and common speech contexts, where tasks are revised, corrected, or renewed. It can convey adjustments to plans, calculations, designs, or procedures, as in uma revisão que exige refazer os cálculos or o projeto foi refazido para atender aos requisitos.

Notes: Refaz does not denote a standalone noun; it functions as a verb form. Its meaning is closely tied to the idea of doing something again from scratch or correcting and improving an earlier result. In contexts with formal or regional variation, other conjugations of refazer (such as refazes, refazemos, refazem) are used to match the subject.
