Questions & Answers about A conta bancária está na declaração pré-preenchida.

Why is it a conta bancária and not just conta bancária?

In Portuguese, it is very common to use the definite article when talking about a specific thing already understood in context.

So a conta bancária means the bank account.

• a = the for a feminine singular noun
• conta = account
• bancária = bank / banking

Portuguese uses articles more often than English does, so leaving out a would often sound less natural here.

Why is conta bancária feminine?

The noun conta is a feminine noun in Portuguese, so the words that go with it must match that gender.

That is why you get:

• a conta
• conta bancária

The adjective bancária changes to feminine singular to agree with conta.

Compare:

• o cartão bancário = the bank card
• a conta bancária = the bank account

Why does the sentence use está instead of é?
