- Since the 19th century, as of a proposal from Brazilianlexicographer Antônio de Morais Silva in 1813, some authorities and usage critics have consideredsense 2.1,sense 2.2, andsense 3ungrammatical.[1][2][3][4][5] According to them:
- onde,aonde, anddonde can only refer to alocation:
O Brasil é umpaís onde a desigualdade social é assustadora.(país is a location, soonde is grammatical)- Brazil is acountry where social inequality is frightening.
Trata-se de umareportagem sobre o Leste Europeuonde são retratados os novos associados da União Europeia.(reportagem isn't a location, soonde is ungrammatical and should be replaced byna qual)- This is areport on Eastern Europewhere the new members of the European Union are depicted.
- aonde must be used if it modifies a verb denoting movement, andonde otherwise:
Aonde cheguei? (meaningA que lugar cheguei?, soaonde is grammatical)- Where have I arrived?
Aonde você mora? (meaningEm que lugar você mora?, soaonde is ungrammatical and should be replaced byonde)- Where do you live?
- Those rules are chiefly followed in formal writing. However, Brazilian dictionaryHouaiss opposes the latter prescription, stating thatonde andaonde have been interchanged in Portuguese for centuries and that such use should not be qualified as an error, even in formal language.[6]
- This adverb can follow any preposition butem.
