Questions & Answers about Partilhei uma avaliação sobre um computador inovador.
Why use sobre instead of de to say "about" here?
Both sobre and de can translate to "about". However, sobre emphasizes the specific subject matter or topic of the review (avaliação). If you used de, it might sound a bit ambiguous, as if the review somehow belongs to the computer itself.
Does avaliação only mean "review"?
It works perfectly for "review" in the sense of leaving product feedback online. More broadly, it means "evaluation" or "assessment". You will often see it used for school tests, job performance reviews, or even medical assessments.
How does the adjective inovador change if it describes a feminine noun?
Adjectives ending in -dor are masculine. To describe a feminine noun (for example, an innovative machine, uma máquina), you simply add an -a to the end, making it inovadora.
Is partilhar the most common verb for sharing online in Portugal?
Yes, partilhar is the standard European Portuguese verb for sharing both physical things (like a meal or a flat) and digital content (like a post or an evaluation). You might sometimes encounter the word compartilhar on the internet, but partilhar is the most natural and widely used choice in Portugal.
