This is the 11614th most frequent Portuguese word.
pegue
"Pegue" is the command form (imperative) of "pegar," meaning "grab," "take," or "pick up."
Here, 'pegue' is used in the imperative mood, instructing someone to take an object, emphasizing an action to be performed.
Pegue o livro na mesa.
Take the book from the table.
'Pegue' is again in the imperative form, but combined with 'não' to form a negative command, instructing someone not to perform the action of taking.
Por favor, não pegue coisas sem permissão.
Please do not take things without permission.
In this sentence, 'pegue' is used emotionally and suggestively to mean grasping someone's hand as a supportive gesture, still in the imperative mood.
