O Pedro batotou quando sorteou o adversário e somou a pontuação.

In European Portuguese, it is very common to use the definite article before a person’s name, especially in everyday speech.

So:

• O Pedro = Pedro
• A Maria = Maria

This does not mean the Pedro in natural English. It is just a normal Portuguese pattern.

In some formal contexts, the article may be omitted, but in normal spoken Portuguese, O Pedro sounds very natural.

All three are in the pretérito perfeito do indicativo, which is the normal simple past tense in Portuguese for completed actions.

They are all 3rd person singular forms:

• batotou = he/she cheated
• sorteou = he/she drew by lot / selected by drawing
• somou = he/she added / totaled

Because the subject is O Pedro, all three mean Pedro did these actions.

That is the regular 3rd person singular ending in the simple past for many -ar verbs.

Examples:

• batotar → batotou
• sortear → sorteou
• somar → somou

This is a very common pattern in Portuguese, so it is worth learning early.

Batotou comes from batotar, which means to cheat or to act dishonestly, often in a game, competition, or similar situation.

It is a rather colloquial word. A related noun is:

• batota = cheating, a trick, dishonest play

So O Pedro batotou means that Pedro cheated.

The verb sortear means to draw by lot, to select randomly, or to assign through a draw.

So sorteou o adversário does not mean drew a picture of the opponent.

It means something like:

• he drew the opponent
• he got the opponent through a draw
• he selected/assigned the opponent by lot

The exact English wording depends on the context, but the idea is a random draw, like in sports competitions, raffles, or tournament pairings.

Yes. Unless Portuguese clearly introduces a new subject, the subject normally stays the same.

So in this sentence, Pedro is understood as the subject of all three verbs:

• O Pedro batotou
• quando [ele] sorteou o adversário
• e [ele] somou a pontuação

Portuguese often leaves out subject pronouns like ele when they are unnecessary, because the verb form already shows who is acting.

Here quando means when, referring to a specific moment in the past.

So the structure is:

• He cheated when he drew the opponent and added the score.

In other contexts, quando can also mean whenever, but in this sentence the past-tense context makes when the natural reading.

Portuguese is a pro-drop language, which means subject pronouns are often omitted when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

English usually needs:

• Pedro cheated when he drew the opponent and he added the score

Portuguese naturally says:

• O Pedro batotou quando sorteou o adversário e somou a pontuação

The missing ele is understood automatically.

Literally, it means and added the score or and totaled the score.

The exact English translation depends on context:

• in a game or contest, it could mean he added up the points
• in scoring, it could mean he recorded/totaled the score

The important point is that somar means to add, and pontuação refers to score, points, or scoring.

Portuguese uses definite articles more often than English.

So a pontuação can mean:

• the score
• the points
• the scoring

Even where English might sometimes drop the article, Portuguese often keeps it. This is very normal and not something to translate word for word every time.

Yes, depending on context.

Portuguese often uses:

• o adversário
• o carro
• a mãe

where English might prefer:

• his opponent
• his car
• his mother

If the context already makes the relationship clear, Portuguese does not always need a possessive.

So sorteou o adversário can naturally be understood as drew his opponent.

Grammatically, the main statement is O Pedro batotou = Pedro cheated.

The rest, quando sorteou o adversário e somou a pontuação, gives the time or circumstance of that cheating:

• when he drew the opponent and added up the score

So the sentence most directly says that the cheating happened during or in connection with those actions. Whether he cheated in one specific part or throughout the whole process depends on context rather than grammar alone.

A learner-friendly approximation would be:

• u PED-ru bu-tu-TOU kwan-du sor-ti-OU u ad-ver-SA-ryu i su-MOU a pon-tu-a-SOUN

A few useful points:

• O Pedro often sounds like u Pedro
• quando has a nasal sound
• adversário has stress on sá
• pontuação has stress on the final ão, which is nasal

European Portuguese also reduces unstressed vowels a lot, so the real spoken form may sound more compressed than the spelling suggests.
