Articles
Definite and Indefinite articles – Artigo Definido e Indefinido
Definite article: used to indicate that a thing is unique in some way.
Example:
(O / the – refer to a specific car and not to any car)
Indefinite article: used to indicate that a thing is not identified as unique.
Example:
(Um/ A – refer to any car)
In Portuguese the article must agree in gender and number with the noun, which means that the definite article o, for example, should precede a singular and masculine (as you could see in the first example –“O Carro”).
| Articles | Definite – singular /plural The | Indefinite – singular / plural A / Some |
| Masculine | O / Os | Um / Uns |
| Feminine | A / As | Uma / Umas |
o livro – the book / os livros – the books
um carro – a car / uns carros – some cars
a casa – the house / as casas – the houses
uma menina – a girl / umas meninas – some girls
