Questions & Answers about Nós bebemos o sumo no café.
How do we get bebemos from the verb beber?
Why is it no café instead of em o café for in the cafe?
In Portuguese, the preposition em (in or at) must combine with the word that follows it if it is a definite article like o (the). When you blend em and o, you get the contraction no. You will almost never see em o written as two separate words.
Can café mean both the drink and the place?
Yes! Just like in English, café can mean the beverage (coffee) or the coffee shop itself. In this sentence, because they are drinking juice in the café, it refers to the location.
Do I have to include the word Nós at the start of the sentence?
