Comments
Why is it that the verb ter also translates into is said?
Olá! And good question. In the sentence from the Shorty, the relevant part is “terá ganho várias batalhas até à sua morte”. The structure ter + past participle is being used with a future tense form (terá) to express something like “apparently” or “presumably” in the past. In historical or report-style narration, this “future of probability” often gets translated in English with expressions like “is said to have…”, “is believed to have…”, or “reportedly…”, rather than a very literal future tense. So in this context, the meaning is not “The Lusitanian general will have won…”, but rather “The Lusitanian general is said to have won… / supposedly won…”, reflecting that it is based on reports, tradition or uncertain historical sources.
