Questions & Answers about Se você quiser viajar para outro país, precisa pensar no passaporte e no preço das passagens.
Why is it quiser instead of quer after “se você”?
Because it’s a conditional construction that suggests possibility or uncertainty. In Portuguese, the subjunctive mood (quiser) is used after se (“if”) to express a hypothetical situation or something that may happen in the future.
Why do we say para outro país instead of para um outro país?
When you say para outro país, you mean “to another country” in a straightforward way. Adding um before outro (para um outro país) emphasizes it slightly differently, as “to one other country,” which is generally unnecessary. Both are grammatically correct, but para outro país is more succinct.
Why is it precisa pensar and not precisa de pensar?
In Portuguese, the verb precisar can be followed directly by an infinitive without a preposition. For example, Precisa viajar (“You need to travel”). If precisar is followed by a noun, then you do use de (for instance, precisa de dinheiro — “needs money”). But with a verb, brazilians typically say precisar + infinitive directly.
What does no passaporte literally mean?
It’s the contraction of em + o (no), meaning “in the” or “on the.” So no passaporte translates as “in the passport.” In the context, it implies you need to keep the passport in mind or check it.
Why is passagens in plural in o preço das passagens?
In Portuguese, as passagens commonly refers to tickets for travel (like airfare or bus tickets) in plural form. Often, people naturally say o preço das passagens (“the price of the tickets”) even if you’re only buying one. It’s a standard expression.
