nós m pl or f pl by sense

1. first-person plural nominative personal pronoun: we

   Synonyms: (informal) a gente, (obsolete) nós outros

   Nós estamos aqui.

   We are here.

2. first-person plural prepositional pronoun: us

   Os pássaros voaram até nós.

   The birds flew towards us.

3. (Brazil, colloquial, proscribed) first-person plural objective personal pronoun; us

   Ele bateu em nós!

   He hit us!

When the clause features a verb in its first-person plural form, the nominative pronoun nós may be dropped.

The following contraction is usually mandatory in standard usage, but optional when mesmos (“ourselves”) is used for emphasis:

• com (“with”) + nós → connosco (Portugal), conosco (Brazil)

Brazilian speakers who use this pronoun colloquially (instead of a gente) may not make the contraction and use com nós instead. They might also use nós with third-person singular verbs. Such usages are highly proscribed but common.
