Questions & Answers about Dá para destacar o produto neste expositor.
Why is dá used here instead of a word meaning possible?
In everyday spoken Portuguese, the expression dar para followed by an infinitive (like destacar) is a very common way to express that something is possible or can be done. Even though dar normally means to give, in this impersonal structure it means something closer to is it doable. You could say é possível destacar, but dá para destacar sounds much more natural in conversation.
Does destacar always mean to highlight?
It often means to highlight or to make something stand out, which fits perfectly with a product on an expositor. However, it can also mean to detach or to separate (like tearing off a paper ticket). Context usually makes the meaning obvious!
Why do we use neste here instead of no?
Neste is the contraction of the preposition em (in or on) and the demonstrative word este (this). By saying neste expositor, you are specifically saying on this display stand. If you used no (which is em + o), it would just mean on the display stand.
How would I turn this sentence into a question to ask if it is possible?
You do not need to change the word order or add any helper words! In Portuguese, you simply turn the statement into a question by raising your pitch at the end when speaking, or by adding a question mark in writing: Dá para destacar o produto neste expositor?
