Questions & Answers about A vossa casa é bonita.
Why does the sentence start with "A" when the English translation just says "Your"?
In European Portuguese, we almost always put a definite article (o or a, meaning "the") before a possessive word. Because casa (house) is a feminine word, we use A before vossa. Literally, it is like saying "The your house".
Does vossa mean there is more than one house, or more than one owner?
Why do we use é instead of está for "is"?
Why is the word for beautiful bonita instead of bonito?
In Portuguese, adjectives have to match the gender of the noun they describe. Because casa is a feminine noun, the adjective takes its feminine form, bonita.
