Questions & Answers about Troco a titularidade; a troca demora três dias.

Why are troco and troca both used if they come from the same verb?

Because they have different grammatical roles:

• troco = I change / I transfer
  This is the 1st person singular of the verb trocar in the present tense.

• troca = the change / the transfer
  Here, it is a noun, not a verb.

So in:

• Troco a titularidade = I transfer the account ownership / I change the ownership
• a troca demora três dias = the transfer takes three days

This is very common in Portuguese: a word related to a verb can also exist as a noun.

What exactly does titularidade mean?

Titularidade means ownership, account holder status, or the name under which something is registered, depending on context.

In Brazil, it is often used for things like:

• phone plans
• utility bills
• bank accounts
• contracts
• registrations

So trocar a titularidade usually means to transfer something into another person’s name.

It is more specific than just ownership in a general sense. It often refers to the official registered holder.
