Aquele homem está aqui.

Aquele is a demonstrative word meaning that or that one over there.

In Aquele homem está aqui, it points to a specific man and suggests some distance. In Brazilian Portuguese, the basic contrast is often:

• este/esta = this
• esse/essa = that
• aquele/aquela = that over there / that one farther away

In real Brazilian speech, esse often covers both this and that in many situations, but aquele still strongly suggests greater distance, either physical or sometimes emotional/discursive distance.

So aquele homem means that man or that man over there.

Because aquele already works with the noun directly.

In Portuguese, demonstratives like este, esse, and aquele can go straight before a noun:

• aquele homem
• essa casa
• este livro

So Aquele homem is completely normal.

You may sometimes hear combinations like aquele homem versus o homem, but they mean different things:

• o homem = the man
• aquele homem = that man

Because Portuguese uses estar for location.

For the location of people and things, Portuguese normally uses estar, not ser:

• O homem está aqui. = The man is here.
• A casa está em São Paulo. = The house is in São Paulo.

Even if the location is not temporary, estar is still the normal verb for where someone or something is.

By contrast, ser is used for identity, classification, and characteristics:

• Aquele homem é médico. = That man is a doctor.
• Aquele homem é alto. = That man is tall.

So in this sentence, está is used because the sentence is about where the man is.

Está is the third-person singular form of estar in the present tense.

Full present-tense forms of estar:

• eu estou
• você/ele/ela está
• nós estamos
• vocês/eles/elas estão

Since the subject is Aquele homem = that man, Portuguese uses the same form as ele:

• ele está
• aquele homem está

The accent mark shows where the stress goes: es-TÁ.

It also helps distinguish está from esta:

• está = is
• esta = this (feminine)

So the accent is important both for pronunciation and for meaning.

In Brazilian Portuguese, h is silent, so homem does not begin with an English h sound.

A rough approximation is:

• OH-mẽy or OH-mẽ

The last syllable is nasal, which is something English speakers often need practice with. The ending -em in Brazilian Portuguese usually has a nasal sound.

A few pronunciation points:

• h = silent
• stress is on the first syllable: HO-mem
• the final sound is nasal, not a clear English m

Yes. Aquele agrees with the noun it describes.

Forms:

• aquele = masculine singular
• aquela = feminine singular
• aqueles = masculine plural
• aquelas = feminine plural

Examples:

• aquele homem = that man
• aquela mulher = that woman
• aqueles homens = those men
• aquelas mulheres = those women

Since homem is masculine singular, aquele is the correct form.

That is the most neutral and natural word order in Portuguese:

• Aquele homem está aqui.

It follows the common pattern:

• subject + verb + place

So:

• Aquele homem = subject
• está = verb
• aqui = place/location

Portuguese can sometimes change the order for emphasis, for example:

• Aqui está aquele homem.

That can sound more like Here is that man or That man is here with emphasis on here. But the original order is the standard one.

Because the two words refer to different things.

• aquele homem identifies which man
• aqui tells you where he is

So the sentence can be understood as something like:

• That man is here.

This is not a contradiction. For example, maybe the speaker is pointing out a man who had been discussed before, or who was previously farther away, or simply identifying him as that man rather than some other man.

Demonstratives do not always describe literal physical distance in a strict way. They can also help identify someone in the conversation.

Yes, and in Brazilian Portuguese that may sound very natural in many contexts.

The difference is mainly in how the man is being pointed out:

• esse homem = that man / this man, often closer in everyday BP usage
• aquele homem = that man over there, or more clearly distant/distinct

In everyday Brazilian Portuguese, esse is often used more broadly than English speakers might expect. But aquele is still useful when you want to sound more clearly like that one over there.

There is no separate subject pronoun like ele, because the noun phrase Aquele homem is already the subject.

So instead of saying:

• Ele está aqui. = He is here.

the sentence says:

• Aquele homem está aqui. = That man is here.

Both are correct, but they do different jobs:

• ele refers back to someone already known
• aquele homem identifies the person more specifically

Yes, it is completely natural.

It is a simple, standard sentence that a Brazilian speaker could easily say in everyday life. For example, if people are looking for someone, one person might say:

• Aquele homem está aqui.

Depending on context, a Brazilian might also choose:

• Esse homem está aqui.
• O homem está aqui.
• Ele está aqui.

But the original sentence is perfectly normal and grammatically correct.
