Questions & Answers about Dói-me o corpo todo.
Why is it Dói-me o corpo instead of O meu corpo dói?
In Portuguese, when talking about body parts, you usually do not use possessive words like meu. Instead, you use the definite article (o or a) for the body part and an indirect object pronoun (like me) to show who it belongs to. So, Dói-me o corpo basically translates as the body hurts to me.
