Questions & Answers about O carregador deste computador é muito avançado.
Why is it deste instead of just de este?
In Portuguese, the preposition de (of) must combine with the demonstrative pronoun este (this). So, de plus este becomes deste (of this). This contraction is mandatory, not optional!
Why use é (from the verb ser) instead of está (from estar) here?
We use ser for permanent or inherent characteristics. Being advanced is a core design feature of this specific charger, rather than a temporary condition like being hot or broken.
Does the adjective avançado agree with carregador or computador?
If I wanted to use the textual connector no entanto to say 'However, it is heavy', where would it go?
