seguem

Seguém is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Portuguese verb seguir, which means to follow. In everyday usage, seguido forms such as seguem appear with subjects like eles, elas, or vocês, as in Eles seguem o guia or Vocês seguem as instruções.

Seguír is irregular in some forms, with a characteristic stem alternation between segu- and sig-. For example, the present indicative forms are eu sigo, tu segues, ele segue, nós seguimos, vós seguis (in some varieties), and eles seguem. In the present subjunctive, the form is sigam, not seguam, reflecting this stem shift. The gerund is seguindo, and the past participle followed is seguido.

The verb is used in a variety of everyday contexts, including physical following of a person or vehicle, adherence to rules or instructions, and progression over time or in a sequence. Examples include seguir o caminho (to follow the path), seguir as instruções (to follow the instructions), and seguir em frente (to move forward). Its meaning can extend to metaphorical contexts, such as following a tradition or a course of study.

Etymologically, seguir derives from Latin sequi, meaning to follow, and has undergone regular phonetic changes typical of Portuguese verbs in the -uir family, though seguir itself is sometimes classified as irregular due to its stem alternations and subjunctive form. In contrastive usage, seguir is contrasted with verb entender seguir a diante as a set phrase for continuing forward.
