Questions & Answers about O telemóvel custa duzentos euros.

I have learned the word celular for a mobile phone. Why is it telemóvel here?
In Portugal, the standard word for a mobile phone is telemóvel. You will hear celular in Brazil, but Portuguese people almost exclusively use telemóvel.
Does the number duzentos change depending on what you are counting?
Yes! In Portuguese, the numbers for hundreds (from 200 to 900) must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because euros is a masculine word, we use the masculine form duzentos. If you were counting a feminine word, like moedas (coins), it would be duzentas.
What is the base form of the verb custa?
The base form (infinitive) is custar (to cost). It is a regular verb. Because o telemóvel is a singular object, we use the third-person singular form custa.
Do currency words like euro always become plural when counting?
Yes, just like in English, you add the letter s when there is more than one. One is um euro, but two hundred is duzentos euros.
