to live together; to cohabit
Pronunciation

Cultural Note
Cohabitation ('união estável') is legally recognized in Brazil and grants many of the same rights as marriage. Traditionally, Brazilian families expected marriage before living together, but this has changed significantly in urban areas. In Portugal, 'união de facto' is the legal term, recognized after two years of cohabitation.
