A gerente disse que a vaga remota ainda está disponível.

Because gerente is a common-gender noun in Portuguese. The noun itself stays the same, and the article shows whether the person is male or female:

• o gerente = the male manager
• a gerente = the female manager

So in this sentence, a gerente tells us the manager is a woman.

In this context, vaga means job opening, position, or vacancy.

It can have other meanings in other contexts, such as:

• parking space
• spot
• opening

But in a work-related sentence like this one, a vaga remota most naturally means the remote job opening or the remote position.

Because adjectives in Portuguese usually agree with the noun in gender and number.

Here:

• vaga is feminine singular
• so remoto must become remota

Agreement pattern:

• vaga remota = feminine singular
• cargo remoto = masculine singular
• vagas remotas = feminine plural
• cargos remotos = masculine plural

Because disponível is one of many Portuguese adjectives that have the same form for masculine and feminine.

So you get:

• o cargo está disponível
• a vaga está disponível

The adjective only changes in the plural:

• os cargos estão disponíveis
• as vagas estão disponíveis

Portuguese often uses estar for conditions or states, and availability is normally treated as a state.

So:

• está disponível = is available

Using ser here would sound unnatural in most everyday situations.

A useful rule of thumb:

• ser = identity, classification, essential characteristics
• estar = state, condition, situation

A job opening being available is a current situation, so estar is the normal choice.

Disse is the preterite form of dizer, meaning said.

So:

• eu disse = I said
• ela disse = she said
• a gerente disse = the manager said

The preterite is used here because it refers to a completed past action: the manager said it.

Here que means that and introduces the clause being reported:

• A gerente disse que... = The manager said that...

In English, that is often optional:

• The manager said that the position is still available.
• The manager said the position is still available.

In Portuguese, que is much more commonly kept, so disse que is the normal structure.

Here ainda means still.

So:

• ainda está disponível = is still available

It shows that the position continues to be available up to now.

Depending on context, ainda can also mean things like:

• yet
• even
• still

But in this sentence, still is the right meaning.

That is a very natural placement in Portuguese. In this sentence, ainda modifies the idea of the state continuing, so ainda está disponível sounds normal and idiomatic.

You will often see adverbs like this before the verb:

• ainda está
• já chegou
• sempre faz
• nunca disse

Portuguese word order is somewhat flexible, but ainda está disponível is the most natural version here.

Portuguese uses definite articles more often than English does.

So even when English might say:

• Remote positions are still available
• The remote position is still available

Portuguese frequently includes o / a / os / as:

• a vaga remota
• o cargo remoto
• as vagas remotas

In this sentence, a vaga remota refers to a specific opening already understood in context.

Because in Portuguese, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• vaga remota = remote position
• trabalho remoto = remote work
• empresa grande = big company

Some adjectives can go before the noun, but that often changes the tone or meaning. In this sentence, vaga remota is the standard and most natural order.

Yes. Depending on context, vaga remota could be translated as:

• remote position
• remote job opening
• remote vacancy

For natural English, remote position or remote job opening usually sounds best.

The subject is a vaga remota.

So the sentence breaks down like this:

• A gerente disse = The manager said
• que a vaga remota ainda está disponível = that the remote position is still available

Inside the second clause, a vaga remota is what is still available.

They show both stress and, in some cases, help distinguish words.

• está has stress on the last syllable: es-TÁ
• disponível has stress on ní: dis-po-NÍ-vel

The accent marks are important in writing and should not be omitted in standard Portuguese.

Yes. Falou que is also possible in everyday Brazilian Portuguese.

Difference in tone:

• disse que = said that
• falou que = said / told / mentioned that, often a little more conversational

Both are common, but disse que is a very neutral and safe choice.
