Questions & Answers about O enfermeiro trabalha no hospital.
Since this lesson is about obligation, how would I say "The nurse has to work at the hospital"?
Why is it no hospital instead of em o hospital?
In Portuguese, the preposition em (meaning in, at, or on) always merges with the word for "the" (o, a, os, as). Here, em + o combines to make the contraction no.
Does enfermeiro only refer to a male nurse?
How do you pronounce the 'h' in hospital?
The letter 'h' at the beginning of a word is always completely silent in Portuguese, so you just start speaking from the 'o' sound. Also, note that the 'l' at the end of the word sounds a bit like an English 'w' or 'u' (an "oo" sound).
