Queremos paz.

Queremos comes from the verb querer, which usually means to want.

In Queremos paz, queremos means we want.

This is the 1st person plural form, used for we.

A few related forms:

• eu quero = I want
• você quer = you want
• nós queremos = we want
• eles querem = they want

Portuguese often leaves out the subject pronoun when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

So:

• Queremos paz = We want peace
• Nós queremos paz = also We want peace

Both are correct. The version without nós is very natural because -emos clearly shows we.

Yes. Nós queremos paz is completely correct.

Adding nós can:

• make the subject more explicit
• add emphasis
• create contrast, as in Nós queremos paz, não guerra = We want peace, not war

But in many normal situations, Portuguese speakers simply say Queremos paz.

In Portuguese, abstract nouns like peace, freedom, or justice are often used without an article in general statements.

So:

• Queremos paz = We want peace

If you say Queremos a paz, it can sound more specific, like the peace in a particular situation. For example, it might refer to a known peace agreement or a specific state of peace.

So in a broad, general sense, Queremos paz is the most natural choice.

Yes, it is very similar.

The structure is:

• Queremos = verb
• paz = object

If you include the subject, it becomes:

• Nós queremos paz

So the full pattern is basically:

• subject + verb + object

But because Portuguese often drops the subject pronoun, you commonly just see:

• verb + object

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

keh-REH-mos pahs

A few details:

• qu in queremos sounds like a hard k
• the e in que- sounds roughly like eh
• the stressed syllable is re: que-RE-mos
• paz ends with a z spelling, but in Brazilian Portuguese it usually sounds like an s at the end: pahs

So:

• queremos → keh-REH-mos
• paz → pahs

Most of the time, querer means to want, but it can have a few related uses depending on context.

Common meanings include:

• to want
• to wish
• sometimes to intend or to be about to, depending on the structure

Examples:

• Quero café. = I want coffee.
• O que você quer dizer? = What do you mean? / What do you want to say?
• Ele quer viajar. = He wants to travel.

In Queremos paz, the meaning is straightforward: we want peace.

Paz is feminine.

You can tell when an article is used:

• a paz = the peace

Even though the sentence does not include the article, the noun itself is feminine.

Example:

• A paz é importante. = Peace is important.

Because paz is normally used as an uncountable abstract noun, just like peace in English.

So:

• Queremos paz = We want peace

You would not normally say pazes in this kind of sentence. The plural pazes does exist, but it is used only in special contexts, such as talking about different peace agreements or formal expressions.

For a general idea, singular paz is correct.

Not normally. Queremos paz specifically means we want peace.

If you want to say we love peace, you would usually use another verb, such as:

• Amamos a paz = We love peace
• Gostamos de paz is less natural in this exact sense

So queremos is about desire or wish, not love.

Queremos is in the present indicative.

Here it means we want in the present.

Depending on context, the present tense in Portuguese can sometimes also sound like:

• a general truth
• a current desire
• an immediate statement

So Queremos paz can mean:

• We want peace
• We are calling for peace
• Peace is what we want

But grammatically, it is the present tense.

Yes, very natural.

Queremos paz is simple, clear, and idiomatic. It could appear in:

• conversation
• speeches
• protests
• songs
• posters
• social media

It sounds like a strong, general statement of desire or demand.

You put não before the verb:

• Não queremos paz. = We do not want peace.

This is the normal way to make a sentence negative in Portuguese:

• não + verb

Examples:

• Queremos paz. = We want peace.
• Não queremos guerra. = We do not want war.

Sometimes, depending on tone and context, yes.

Literally, queremos is we want, but in some situations it may be understood more softly, like we would like.

Still, if you want to sound more polite or less direct, Portuguese often uses other expressions, such as:

• Gostaríamos de... = We would like...
• Queríamos... = We wanted... / We would like... in a polite sense

In Queremos paz, though, the usual reading is direct and strong: We want peace.
