vendem

Vendem is a Portuguese word that functions as a verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb vender, meaning "they sell." The verb vender is regular in its conjugation, with present indicative forms including eu vendo, tu vendes, ele/ela/você vende, nós vendemos, and eles/elas/vocês vendem. In use, vendem appears when the subject is a plural group performing the action of selling; the subject pronoun is often omitted since the verb ending already indicates the person and number.

In typical sentences, vendem governs a direct object that identifies what is being sold. Examples: "Eles vendem carros usados" (They sell used cars) and "As lojas vendem produtos alimentares" (The stores sell food products). The form also appears in impersonal or passive-like constructions such as "Vendem-se casas na região" (Houses are for sale in the region), where the action is generalized and a specific subject is not stated.

Etymology and classification: vendem derives from the Latin vendere, through the evolution of Vulgar Latin into the Portuguese verb system. It belongs to the broader class of regular -er verbs and shares its stem with related forms such as vender, vende, vendemos, and vendem.

Notes: vendem is not a noun or a brand name; it is specifically a verb form. In Portuguese, tense and mood are conveyed mainly through verb endings, with auxiliary verbs playing a role in other tenses. See also vender; Portuguese conjugation; Portuguese grammar.
