Questions & Answers about O chá do restaurante é muito forte.
Why doesn't muito change its ending in this sentence?
Why does it say chá do restaurante instead of using an apostrophe-s like in English?
Portuguese does not use an apostrophe-s ('s) to show ownership. Instead, you say "the tea of the restaurant". The word do is a contraction of the preposition de (of) and o (the masculine word for "the", matching restaurante).
Why use é instead of está? Isn't a cup of tea temporary?
Would the adjective forte change if the noun was feminine?
No. Adjectives that end in the letter "e", like forte (strong) or grande (big), are neutral. They look exactly the same for both masculine and feminine nouns. They only change if you need to make them plural by adding an "s".
