Language/Portuguese/Grammar/Porquê-VS-Porque

2020-05-21T14:31:38Z

Ivo2020:

Hello Portuguese learners,

Did you know that one of the main mistakes in Portuguese is the use of '''Porquê''', '''Porque''', '''Por quê''' and '''Por que'''?

In this lesson, you will see the difference between them.

==Porque==
* Is always used in responses to explain something or to indicate a cause
* Means '''because'''
* We can use '''Pois''' instead of '''porque'''

'''Examples'''
*Não fui para a festa <big>porque</big> estava doente. / Não fui para a festa <big>pois</big> estava doente.
(I didn't go to the party because I was sick)

*Comprei esse sapato <big>porque</big> estava mais barato. / Comprei esse sapato <big>pois</big> estava mais barato.
(I bought this shoe because it was cheaper)

==Porquê==
* It is noun and is used in place of "reason" / "motive"
* Means: '''reason, why'''
* Porquê always comes with an article, pronoun, adjective or numeral.

'''Examples'''
*Não consigo entender o <big>porquê</big> ele foi dormir cedo.
(I can't understand why he went to sleep early.)

*O <big>porquê</big> de não estar conversando é porque quero estar concentrada.
(The reason I am not talking is because I want to be focused.)

==Por que==
* used to ask questions, usually at the beginning of the sentence.
* Means '''why'''

'''Examples'''
*<big>Por que</big> não está conversando?
(Why aren't you talking?)

*<big>Por que</big> você não foi na festa ontem?
(Why didn't you go to the party yesterday?)

*<big>Por que</big> ela foi lá?
(Why did she go there?)

==Por quê==
*Used whenever a point comes (period, interrogative, exclamation) (?, !, .)
*Also means '''why'''

'''Examples'''
*Ela foi lá, <big>por quê</big>?
(She went there, why?)

*Estudei bastante ontem. Sabe <big>por quê</big>?
(I studied a lot yesterday. Do you know why?)

To be completed

<div style="font-size:300%;">Slang in Brazil</div>

Do you know that Brazil has different accents and local expressions in each state?

Sometimes even Brazilian people have a hard time understanding each other!

The aim of this lesson is to help you understand spoken and slang expressions in the different states and regions in Brazil.

Please, add some new slang words or expressions from your state here, it will enrich the text!

== Everywhere in Brazil ==

== Northeast ==
We have nine states in the northeast. I'll talk a little about the slang that exists in Pernambuco, which sometimes other states use as well.
* '''O bichinho tá doente, é?''' Is the child or the boy really sick?

* '''''Oxi'', e eu num te avisei!''' "''Oxi''", is an expression of amazement and at the same time indignation with what was said before and was not done by the person.

* '''Que cabra arretado'''. When someone learns and does everything to please people.

* '''Viu? Você observou aquilo?'''

*'''Você prestou atenção?'''

* '''Tá danado de bom'''. The place, the food, the things you like, are too good

==North==
==Central-West==
==South==
* '''Gaudério''' - Country dweller.
* '''Lagartear -''' Stay in the sun doing nothing, resting.
* '''Pila -''' Another way of saying our currency, like money.

==Southeast==
* '''TOP''' - Adjective used to say that something is very good or amazing.

* '''Mano''' - Is an expression similar to "bro" in english.

I Hope you enjoyed it! I will post more soon!
