vende

Vende is a verb form found in several Romance languages that derives from the Latin vendere, meaning to sell. It appears in present-tense conjugations across languages such as Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, where it typically expresses the act of selling by a third-person subject.

In Spanish, vende is the third-person singular present indicative form meaning “he/she sells.” It can also appear in contexts where the informal imperative tú form is used, yielding the sense of “Sell!” depending on punctuation and sentence structure. In Portuguese, vende serves as the third-person singular present indicative form meaning “he/she sells,” and it is also used with certain second-person pronouns to express “you sell.” In Italian, vende is the third-person singular present indicative as well, meaning “he/she sells.”

Etymology and cognates trace vende to the Latin vendere, with the root vend- shared across Romance languages. The word is generally not a noun or proper name in these languages but a verb form; however, it can appear in compound expressions or as part of multiword phrases.

Beyond its role as a verb form, vende may occur as a surname or as part of place names in various linguistic contexts, though such uses are less common and highly language- and region-specific.
