resultando

Resultando is the present participle (gerund) of the verbs resultar in Spanish and Portuguese. It functions as a non-finite form used to express an action in progress or to indicate the outcome or consequence of a process. In Portuguese, it is common in phrases such as "resultando em" to show what a process yields. In Spanish, resultando is used with estar to form the present progressive or in idiomatic constructions that mark consequence.

In Spanish, resultando is found with estar: "La operación está resultando difícil" (the operation is turning out to be difficult). It is also used in clauses that express the outcome of an investigation or test, often appearing in phrases like "Resultando de las pruebas, se concluyó..." meaning "As a result of the tests, it was concluded..." It can function as a gerund to link clauses non-finitely, sometimes yielding a sense akin to "resulting from" when followed by a noun phrase.

In Portuguese, resultando appears in progressive statements such as "O projeto está resultando em benefícios" (the project is resulting in benefits). It also serves to introduce causal expressions similar to "resulting from" (resultando de) in formal writing.

While widely understood, the gerund form is less common in some formal registers, where adjectives like resultante or nouns such as resultado are preferred to express "resulting" or "result." See also: resultant, consequence, outcome.
