Questions & Answers about Transmita e retifique a declaração do Imposto de Renda.

Why are transmita and retifique used instead of dictionary forms like transmitir and retificar?

Because this sentence uses the imperative, the form used for giving instructions or commands.

• transmitir = to submit / to transmit
• retificar = to correct / amend / rectify

In an instruction, Portuguese changes the verb form:

• Transmita = Submit
• Retifique = Amend / Correct

So this is like an official instruction telling someone what to do.

Why is it transmita and not transmite?

Transmita is the command form associated with você in standard Brazilian Portuguese.

For many verbs, commands for você use the same form as the present subjunctive:

• que você transmita
• que você retifique

That is why the instruction says:

• Transmita
• Retifique

and not transmite.

A native English speaker often expects something more directly tied to the infinitive, but Portuguese imperative forms depend on the subject being implied.
