Usage notes
edit
  • The definite articleo (in all its forms), due to historicalsandhi, regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositionsa(to),con(with),de(of, from), anden(in). For example,con o(with the) contracts toco, anden o(in the) contracts tono.
  • The definite articleo (in all its forms), due to historicalsandhi, contracts with preceding words which ends in [s] or [r] into the second form of the articlelo (la,los,las); this feature, frequent in spoken Galician, is not always marked in the written language. When done, ahyphen is used to separate both words:
Debes comer o caldo ~ Debes come-lo caldoYou should eat the soup

    o m (femininea,masculine pluralos,feminine pluralas)

    1. the(masculine singular definite article)
    Usage notes
    edit

    For the most part, usage of the definite article in Portuguese is the same as in English. Some differences include:

    • it is optionally but commonly used with abstract mass nouns:
      O amor é melhor quea guerra.Love is better than war.
    • in Brazil, it can be optionally used with adjectival possessive pronouns, and mandatorily with substantival possessive pronouns; both are mandatory in Portugal:
      (O) meu livro é melhor queo seu.My book is better than yours.
    • it can be used with personal names; often this indicates familiarity with the person (due to personal connection with them or because they are famous); this is avoided in formal contexts:
      (O) João foi até a cidade.João went to the city.
      (O) Einstein foi um cientista famoso.Einstein was a famous scientist.
    • it is sometimes used instead of a possessive pronoun when the possessor is obvious from the context; this is especially prevalent when referring to parts of the body or one’s own relatives:
      O pai está viajando.(My) dad is travelling.
      Você falou coma tia?Did you talk with my/our aunt?
      Quando você quebrouos braços?When did you break your arms?
    • it is used in a construct that is uncommon in English but common in Portuguese whereby a singular is used as a representative or prototype of all instances of the thing:
      O carvalho é uma árvore grande.The oak is a big tree.
      A picape é responsável pela poluição.Pick-up trucks are responsible for the pollution.
    • it is much more commonly used with placenames; most names of countries, states, provinces and continents take the definite article, but only a minority of cities:
      Eu moro no Luxemburgo.I live in Luxembourg.
      O Rio de Janeiro fica no Brasil.Rio de Janeiro is in Brazil.

    Usage notes

    For purely factual statements,sa is more common. This marker is mostly used for promises, or when the anticipation carries an emotive charge, such as hope or fear. For example, “I’ll see you” is not a purely factual statement; it implies, “I hope to see you (again, some time in the future)”. In Sranan Tongo, this is then expressed as “mi o si yu”.
