  • So the definition of multibanco is ATM but from the context in which it has been used here and in some other examples it means payment by debit card, correct?

    • Correct, we can say ‘eu pago com multibanco’ or ‘eu pago por multibanco’ when we want to pay by debit/credit card 🙂

  • Uma questão:

    Porque está, “A corrente está muito longa,” mas não, “A corrente está muita longa”?

    O advérbio tem concordar com o número e gênero do nome, não é?

    • Olá! Por definição, os advérbios são palavras invariáveis. Usar ‘muita’ como advérbio só é aceitável enquanto calão (slang), nunca enquanto parte da linguagem padrão. Por outro lado, a palavra ‘muito’ também pode ser usada como quantificador (= ‘many’ em inglês) e, nesses contextos, é variável em género e número. Por exemplo:
      – Tenho muitas amigas (I have many friends) -> quantificador
      – Elas são muito inteligentes (They are very smart) -> advérbio

  • Hi, does the app include a dictionary wherein I can look up the correct word for European Portuguese?

    I started with Duolingo, and still have the Brazilian versions of some words (i.e. “grama” for grass) stuck in my head.

    I have been looking words up on Google, but they are giving me the Brazilian versions🤔

    • Olá Andrew,
      For that I’d recommend using our Translator tool, which you can easily access in the top right corner of the app’s main page! 🙂
