Questions & Answers about A comida é suficiente.

Why is there a before comida?

Because a is the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.

In Portuguese, it is very common to use a definite article where English might use no article at all. So a comida can mean:

• the food
• sometimes food in a general/contextual sense, depending on the situation

Here, a comida most naturally means the food.

Since comida is a feminine noun, the article is a, not o.

• a comida = the food
• o alimento = the food / the nourishment
