Questions & Answers about Visto-me sempre rápido de manhã.
Why is it visto-me and not "vesto-me"?
The verb here is vestir-se (to get dressed). It has a stem change in the present tense: the e in the stem changes to an i, but only in the "I" (eu) form. That's why it is visto-me. The other forms keep the e (like tu vestes-te and ele veste-se).
Why is the -me attached to the end of the verb instead of coming before it?
When a sentence starts directly with a verb, European Portuguese rules say the pronoun cannot go at the very beginning. Instead, it must attach to the end of the verb with a hyphen, making it visto-me. If the sentence started with a negative word like não, the pronoun would be pulled to the front (like não me visto).
I thought rápido meant "fast". Why aren't we using rapidamente for "quickly"?
Why do we say de manhã instead of na manhã?
