Questions & Answers about O armazenamento é versátil, mas raramente temos muito que guardar.
Why is there a que in muito que guardar? Wouldn't muito para guardar make more sense?
You could use para, but using que + infinitive is a standard Portuguese structure after indefinite pronouns like muito (much), algo (something), pouco (little), or nada (nothing). This creates an infinitival relative clause. While it literally translates to "much that to store," it functions exactly like the English "much to store."
Does guardar mean "to guard" or "to store" here?
While guardar can mean "to guard," its most common everyday meaning in Portuguese is "to put away," "to keep," or "to store." Because the first half of the sentence establishes the topic as storage (armazenamento), "to store" or "to keep" is the exact intended meaning here.
What is the root of the noun armazenamento?
Could we change the word order to temos raramente?
