Questions & Answers about Aqui em Lisboa faz vento.
Why does it say faz (makes) instead of está (is)?
Is vento an adjective or a noun here?
Could I change the word order to Faz vento aqui em Lisboa?
Yes, absolutely! Portuguese word order is very flexible. Starting with Aqui em Lisboa puts the emphasis on the location, but putting it at the end of the sentence is also completely natural.
Why is it em Lisboa instead of na Lisboa?
Most cities and towns in Portuguese do not take a definite article (the equivalent of "the"). Because of this, the preposition em (in/at) stays exactly as it is and doesn't combine with an "a" to become na. You just say em Lisboa.
