Questions & Answers about Bem-vindo, professor!
Why does it say Bem-vindo instead of Bem-vinda?
Bem-vindo means "welcome," and it changes depending on who you are talking to! Because we are talking to a male teacher (professor), we use the masculine singular form bem-vindo. If the teacher were female (professora), we would say Bem-vinda, professora!
How would this change if we were welcoming a group of teachers?
In English, a "professor" is usually only at a university. Is it the same in Portuguese?
No, in Portuguese, professor (male) or professora (female) is used for a teacher at any level of education, from primary school all the way up to university.
