  • Hello, I cannot understand if there is an error in the question. Shouldn’t it be “Qual É a alcunha”? Obrigado!

    • Hi, Stefano! In this case, it’s not an error, just an alternative way of writing the question. You can say both “Qual a alcunha?” or “Qual é a alcunha?” 🙂 With this particular interrogative pronoun (Qual), it’s possible to omit the verb and still have a grammatically correct sentence.

    • This is great! I love it when you link to the origins of words, especially ones that come from Arabic. So cool alface comes from the word al- Hassa. I was laughing so much..I wouldn’t want to be called tripeira being vegan and all.. so I guess I’m never moving to o Porto! ..lol .Would much rather be an alfacinha !! ..:)

      On a side note..I love listening to kena! What a nice voice and clear pronaunciation.
