já celebrámos hoje – aqui é o link ao meu blogue, acerca do nosso dia. Se alguém quiser comentar/corrigir, fica à vontade https://www.rachelbarker.com/2022/11/estamos-festejar-o-magusto-dia-de-sao.html
Hello, I have seen the word “chamado” used with or without “de”. When should which be used?
Thank you!
“Chamado de” tends to appear in passive voice constructions (e.g. é chamado -> is called), followed by some kind of general qualifier. Some examples:
– Ele é chamado de pobre
– Ela é chamada de rainha
– Paris é chamada de cidade luz
For specific, given names, we shouldn’t use “de”.
– Tenho um amigo chamado João (not “chamado de João”)
– A capital de França, chamada Paris, tem… (not “chamada de Paris”)
Ah, ok, thank you very much!
