Questions & Answers about Eles têm orgulho em nós.
Why is it nós here instead of the object pronoun nos?
Because it comes immediately after a preposition. In this sentence, that preposition is em. After prepositions, Portuguese uses stressed pronouns. For the first person plural, the stressed pronoun is nós. It looks exactly like the subject pronoun for we, but sounds slightly different from the unstressed object pronoun nos.
The English translation says proud of, but the Portuguese uses têm orgulho. Why?
Why does the sentence use the preposition em instead of de to mean of?
