Questions & Answers about O desfecho da primeira temporada é tão surpreendente que provavelmente ninguém adivinha!
Why do we use the indicative adivinha after provavelmente? Doesn't it express doubt?
Even though it expresses uncertainty, epistemic adverbs ending in -mente (like provavelmente and possivelmente) take the indicative mood. The subjunctive is usually triggered by other doubt words like talvez (perhaps) or expressions like é provável que (it is probable that).
Could I use estação instead of temporada for a TV season?
Why is there no não before adivinha? I thought Portuguese used double negatives.
The English translation says 'nobody guesses it'. Why is there no object pronoun (like o) before adivinha?
In Portuguese, it is very common to drop the direct object pronoun completely when the context makes it obvious what you are referring to. While you could technically say ninguém o adivinha, leaving it out is much more natural and common in everyday speech.
