Questions & Answers about Que o universo te abençoe e que os teus dias sejam repletos de alegria.
Why are the verbs abençoe and sejam in the subjunctive instead of the normal present tense?
This sentence uses the structure Que + present subjunctive to express a direct wish or blessing. This translates to "May the universe bless..." and "may your days be...". When you start a wish with Que, you must use the subjunctive.
Why is the pronoun te placed before the verb in te abençoe?
Could I use cheios de instead of repletos de?
Yes! Repleto means "filled" and is a slightly more poetic or elevated way to say "full". For everyday speech, cheios de alegria means the exact same thing. Both are adjectives and must be masculine plural to match the noun dias.
Why is there an os in front of teus dias?
In European Portuguese, you generally must use a definite article (o, a, os, as) before possessive words. Even though we just say "your days" in English, Portuguese requires the article, making it literally "the your days".
