Quero lançar o dado e avançar.

In Portuguese, subject pronouns are often omitted when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

• Quero = I want
• The -o ending shows it is I

So Quero lançar o dado e avançar is completely natural. You can say Eu quero... if you want extra emphasis, but it is not necessary.

Lançar is the infinitive form of the verb, meaning something like to throw, to launch, or to cast, depending on context.

In this sentence, it comes after quero, and in Portuguese, verbs after querer usually stay in the infinitive:

• Quero lançar = I want to throw
• Quero avançar = I want to move forward / advance

This is very similar to English want to + verb.

Because both verbs depend on quero.

The structure is:

• Quero = I want
• lançar o dado = to throw the die
• e avançar = and to advance

Portuguese often works like this with coordinated verbs:

• Quero comer e descansar = I want to eat and rest
• Quero sair e caminhar = I want to go out and walk

The second infinitive does not need another quero.

Here, o dado means the die, as in a single game die.

Important distinction:

• o dado = the die
• os dados = the dice

Portuguese uses dado for the singular game piece and dados for the plural.

Yes. Dado can mean different things depending on context.

Common meanings include:

• dado = die (game object)
• dado = given (past participle of dar)
• dados = data

In lançar o dado, the meaning is clearly throw the die, because of the gaming context.

Portuguese uses definite articles more often than English. In this sentence, o dado means the die—the specific die involved in the game.

• lançar o dado = throw the die

Without the article, lançar dado would sound unnatural here.

It is understandable and correct, but in everyday Brazilian Portuguese, many people would more naturally say:

• jogar o dado
• rolar o dado in some contexts
• lançar o dado is also possible, especially in more formal or game-instruction style language

So Quero lançar o dado e avançar is fine, but Quero jogar o dado e avançar may sound more conversational to many speakers.

Here, avançar means to advance or to move forward, especially in a game.

For example, in a board game, after throwing the die, you move your piece forward. So avançar fits that idea well.

Depending on context, it can also mean:

• to advance
• to proceed
• to move ahead

Because avançar is directly connected to quero.

Portuguese usually says:

• Quero avançar = I want to advance

not

• Quero para avançar ❌

After querer, you normally use the infinitive directly, without an extra preposition.

Yes. In this sentence, e simply means and.

It connects the two actions:

• lançar o dado
• avançar

So the structure is very straightforward: I want to throw the die and advance.

A natural Brazilian pronunciation would be roughly:

KEH-roh lan-SAR oo DAH-doo ee ah-van-SAR

A few helpful notes:

• Quero: the first syllable sounds like keh
• lançar: stress on the last syllable, -çar
• dado: stress on da
• avançar: stress on the last syllable, -çar
• ç sounds like s

The r at the end of lançar and avançar is often softer in Brazilian Portuguese than an English r.

Yes. Depending on context, avançar can be translated naturally as:

• advance
• move forward
• go forward

In a board game, move forward is often the most natural English translation, even if the Portuguese verb is avançar.

Yes, especially if someone is talking about their turn or what they want to do next.

Still, in very natural spoken Brazilian Portuguese, people might also say things like:

• Quero jogar o dado e andar.
• Vou jogar o dado e avançar.
• Vou lançar o dado e avançar.

So your sentence is correct and natural, though there are other very common ways to express the same idea.
