Questions & Answers about O relógio custa cento e cinquenta euros.
Why does it say cento instead of cem for 'one hundred'?
In Portuguese, the word for exactly one hundred is cem. However, when you add other numbers to it, like 'one hundred and fifty', it changes to cento. So it becomes cento e cinquenta.
Does relógio mean 'watch' or 'clock'?
It means both! In Portuguese, relógio is the general word for any kind of timepiece, whether you wear it on your wrist, put it on a desk, or hang it on a wall.
Why does the 'o' in relógio have an accent mark?
How do you pronounce euros in European Portuguese?
The 'eu' combination is pronounced by sliding from an 'eh' sound to an 'oo' sound. Because the word ends in an 's', that final letter is pronounced like a 'sh' sound in Portugal. Put together, it sounds roughly like 'EH-oo-rosh'.
