reúna

Reúna is a Portuguese verb form derived from reunir, meaning to gather or assemble. It is primarily used in two grammatical contexts: as a present-subjunctive form for eu and for ele/ela/você, and as the affirmative imperative for você, often in formal or instructional language. The form also appears in reflexive constructions, such as reuniа-se, when the meaning is to gather oneself.

Etymology and forms: reunir comes from Latin reunire, formed by the prefix re- (again) and unire (to unite). The spelling re-ú-n-a with an acute accent on the ú marks the stressed syllable in this particular conjugation form, distinguishing it from other verb forms like reuna or reconce.

Usage notes: Reúna is frequently seen in official, administrative, or instructional contexts, where commands or recommendations are issued to gather items, people, or information. In informal speech, speakers often use other verbs or more common imperatives, but reúna remains correct and widely understood in formal guidelines or documents. The reflexive form, reúna-se, can be used to direct someone to gather themselves or to prepare for a meeting.

Examples:

- Espero que você reúna os documentos antes da reunião. (I hope you gather the documents before the meeting.)

- Reúna as equipes e apresente o relatório. (Gather the teams and present the report.)

- Reúna-se com a equipe para alinhar os próximos passos. (Meet with the team to align the next steps.)
