reservou

Reservou is a Portuguese verb form. It is the third-person singular pretérito perfeito simples of reservar, meaning to reserve or book. It is used to indicate that someone reserved something in the past. In Brazilian Portuguese, the form also corresponds to você reservou, since você uses the third-person singular.

Origin and meaning: Reservar comes from Latin reservare, formed from re- (back or again) and servare (to keep or save). The sense evolved to include setting aside a place or time for future use, which is reflected in the past tense form reservou.

Conjugation and regional variation: The full set in the pretérito perfeito simples includes eu reservei, tu reservaste, ele/ela/você reservou, nós reservamos, vós reservastes, eles/elas/vocês reservaram. The tu and vós forms are more common in Portugal or in literary contexts; in daily Brazilian speech, você reservou is typically used for the third-person singular.

Usage: Reservou is used to report completed acts of booking or reserving. Examples: Ela reservou uma mesa para as oito. Reservou um quarto no hotel para a viagem. Ele reservou tempo para estudar. Question forms can be built with você já reservou? to ask if someone has made a reservation.
