rejeita

Rejeita is a conjugated form of the Portuguese verb rejeitar, meaning to reject or refuse. It is the third-person singular present indicative form (ele/ela/você rejeita) and also the informal second-person singular imperative form in some dialects, used to give a direct order: Rejeita isso.

In use, rejeitar describes declining or dismissing proposals, ideas, or actions, and expressing disagreement or refusal in various contexts, from everyday decisions to formal negotiations. Examples: Ele rejeita a proposta. A comissão rejeita a sugestão. Rejeita-se uma oferta quando não atende aos requisitos.

Conjugation and related forms: the infinitive is rejeitar; the gerund is rejeitando; and the past participle is rejeitado. The noun form is rejeição (rejection), and the adjective rejeitado means rejected. The present tense commonly appears as eu rejeito, tu rejeitas, ele rejeita, nós rejeitamos, eles rejeitam, with regional variations in the second-person forms.

Variants and nuance: rejeita can also function as an imperative in informal speech to tell someone directly to reject something, with tone depending on context. While rejeitar is widely used across Brazilian and European Portuguese, regional usage can affect formality and cadence in commands.
