Questions & Answers about Preciso da tua assinatura aqui para concluir o formulário.
Why is it preciso da tua assinatura and not preciso a tua assinatura?
The verb precisar always requires the preposition de when it has a direct object: precisar de algo. Here algo is a tua assinatura, so de + a contracts into da. The full structure is precisar de + a tua assinatura → preciso da tua assinatura.
Why is the possessive tua used instead of sua or seu?
In European Portuguese, the familiar second-person singular pronoun is tu, with the matching possessive tua. seu/sua refers to the third-person (ele/ela) or the formal “you” (você), which is less common in Portugal.
What’s the difference between concluir, completar, and preencher?
- preencher = “to fill in” (e.g. preencher campos de um formulário)
- completar = “to complete” or “to make whole”
- concluir = “to conclude” or “to finish” a process.
In this context, you need the signature to finish (concluir) the form, not just to fill its blanks.
Why is it o formulário instead of um formulário?
The definite article o signals a specific form that both speaker and listener know about. Using um would sound like you’re talking about any form in general.
Is the adverb aqui necessary, and why is it placed after assinatura?
aqui (“here”) isn’t strictly mandatory but clarifies location. In European Portuguese, placing it after the object is most natural: preciso da tua assinatura aqui. You could also say aqui preciso da tua assinatura, but it’s less common.
Can I replace concluir with terminar or finalizar?
Yes. terminar and finalizar are synonyms of concluir in this context. Choosing between them is mostly a matter of style; all three mean “to finish” the form.
