Grammar
[edit | edit source]Plurals of Nouns
[edit | edit source]Almost every portuguese word ends with s.
To know how to make the plural:
- The suffix -s is added normally.
- -es is added when the word ends with r or z; in some words ending with ão, the o is removed to add -es (Pão → Pães).
- -is is added in some words ending with al, el, ol or ul (Pastel → Pastéis (the accute is added for the pronunciation))
- -ns is added in words ending with m (Atum → Atuns)
- -ões is added in some words ending with ão. (ão is removed and then -ões is added) (Limão → Limões)
- In some words, the stem vowel /o/ in the singular changes to /ɔ/ in the plural, though this is not reflected in the orthography. (Tijolo /t͡ʃiˈʒolu/ → Tijolos /t͡ʃiˈʒɔlus/)
Regular Plurals
[edit | edit source]Casa → Casas
Irregular Plurals
[edit | edit source]Qualquer (any) becomes quaisquer. Most words that end with 'x' don't change: Tórax (thorax. chest), inox (Stainless steel)
