From sick to sickness
doente you have known since A1. The noun is a doença — the illness:
comum itself is the everyday "common, ordinary" — you already met its negation incomum. a idade is the age: Que idade tens? is the everyday way to ask (beside Quantos anos tens?).
The senses, when they fail
| word | meaning |
|---|---|

| cego (known) | blind |
| My grandfather is almost deaf. | O meu avô está quase surdo. |
Both double as figures of speech: cego de raiva — blind with rage; surdo aos conselhos — deaf to advice.
o humor
o humor is both humour and mood: estar de bom humor / de mau humor — to be in a good / bad mood; ter sentido de humor — to have a sense of humour.
