rejeite

Rejeite is a Portuguese term that functions as a conjugated form of the verb rejeitar, meaning to reject, discard, or refuse. Specifically, rejeite operates as the imperative mood for the second-person singular in formal address (you should reject) and as the present subjunctive form for the third-person singular or for você in certain dialects, used in clauses expressing necessity, doubt, or exhortation (for example, é importante que ele rejeite).

In everyday speech, speakers typically use rejeita (informal tú) or você rejeita in the indicative, while rejeite appears in formal or written language, legal texts, or official commands. The form thus carries a slightly formal or prescriptive tone and is common in policy language, guidelines, and instructions.

Etymology: rejeite comes from rejeitar, which derives from the Latin reicere or a related form meaning to throw back. The prefix re- conveys reversal or backward action, and the root is linked to casting or rejecting. The spelling and pronunciation reflect Portuguese phonology.

Usage and examples: Rejeite qualquer proposta que não inclua as condições acordadas. Que ele rejeite a oferta. The form is not used as a noun and has no independent meaning beyond the verb form.

Variant forms: other conjugations of rejeitar include rejeito, rejeitas, rejeita, rejeitamos, rejeitam; rejeições means rejection; rejeitado means rejected. There is no widely recognized place, person, or concept named Rejeite in standard reference works.
