The Glue Nouns
Every language leans on a dozen abstract nouns that hold conversations together. Portuguese's set:
| noun | meaning |
|---|---|
| o caso | the case, the matter — neste caso |
| a forma | the shape, the form — a forma do bolo |
| a maneira | the way, the manner — desta maneira |
| o momento | the moment — neste momento |
| o tipo | the type; (colloq.) the guy |
| a parte | the part — a parte difícil |
| o lado | the side — do outro lado |
| a razão | the reason — and ter razão, to be right |
| a certeza | the certainty — ter a certeza, to be sure |
| In this case, you are right. | Neste caso, tens razão. |
The Orderers
último is last (o último dia), próprio is own (a minha própria casa). Both sit before or after their noun with the article doing the work, and o mesmo from the last lesson completes the trio.
