The Four Directions
| o norte | the north |
| o sul | the south |
| o este | the east |
| o oeste | the west |
o este is spelled exactly like the demonstrative este (this) — the article tells them apart: o este do país is geography, este país is pointing.
| The north of the country is cold. | O norte do país é frio. |
The In-Betweens
The intercardinals glue the four together, north first:
| o nordeste | the northeast |
| o noroeste | the northwest |
| o sudeste | the southeast |
| o sudoeste | the southwest |
With places they ride on em or de: no norte, do sul, para o oeste.
