Questions & Answers about Eu acreditar na profecia da vidente?!
Why is acreditar in the infinitive here instead of conjugated like Eu acredito?
This is the repudiation infinitive. It is used in exclamatory questions to express shock, outrage, or strong disbelief at a suggestion. By leaving the verb in the infinitive, you are treating the very concept of "me believing" as an absurd hypothetical rather than a real action.
Since this sentence uses Eu, is acreditar the personal or impersonal infinitive?
It is the personal infinitive. Even though the first-person singular of the personal infinitive looks identical to the base dictionary form (acreditar), it is explicitly tied to the subject Eu. If the subject were "you", you would conjugate it to match: Tu acreditares na profecia?!
Why does the sentence use na profecia instead of just a profecia?
In Portuguese, the verb acreditar requires the preposition em when you are talking about believing in something or someone. Here, em merges with the feminine definite article a to become na.
Is the word vidente strictly feminine?
