Questions & Answers about O que vejo no vale tem algo de majestoso.
Why do we need de before majestoso? Couldn't we just say algo majestoso?
In Portuguese, when an indefinite pronoun like algo (something), nada (nothing), or tudo (everything) is modified by an adjective, you must insert the preposition de between them. This is known as a partitive construction. So, 'something majestic' becomes algo de majestoso.
Does majestoso ever change to feminine or plural if the thing I am looking at in the valley is feminine or plural?
Why does the sentence start with O que instead of just Que for 'What'?
When 'what' is not asking a question but instead means 'that which' or 'the thing that', Portuguese requires the demonstrative pronoun o before que. If you just used Que vejo no vale..., it would incorrectly read like the conjunction 'That I see in the valley...'.
Could I say alguma coisa instead of algo in this sentence?
