Evaluating Gadgets
To write a helpful product review (a avaliação), you often need to describe its features and point out both strong points and drawbacks.
| I shared a review about an innovative computer. | Partilhei uma avaliação sobre um computador inovador. |
| A disadvantage is that the screen is not very durable. | Uma desvantagem é que o ecrã não é muito resistente. |
Connectors of Opposition
While you already know mas (but), writing formal reviews often calls for elevated transitions to connect contrasting ideas smoothly.
The expressions no entanto and porém both translate to "however" or "nevertheless." Place a comma before the connector when joining two contrasting clauses in a single sentence.
| The system is very advanced, however it has a disadvantage. | O sistema é muito avançado, no entanto tem uma desvantagem. |
| I tested the new feature, however I do not think that it is very useful. | Testei a nova funcionalidade, no entanto não acho que seja muito útil. |
The single word porém functions exactly like no entanto.
| I think that the product is innovative, however it is very expensive. | Acho que o produto é inovador, porém é muito caro. |
| I received the screen, however I think that it is not very sturdy. | Recebi o ecrã, porém acho que é pouco resistente. |
