Questions & Answers about O passageiro trará o cartão de embarque e a bagagem.
Why is the verb trará irregular here?
Trará is the future tense of trazer (to bring). While most Portuguese verbs form the future tense by adding endings directly to the full infinitive, trazer, dizer, and fazer are irregular. They drop their middle letters, so we say trará instead of the incorrect trazerá.
How does the phrase cartão de embarque work to mean "boarding pass"?
Portuguese often links nouns with the preposition de (of) to describe what something is for, whereas English puts two nouns side by side. Embarque means "boarding," so cartão de embarque literally translates to "card of boarding."
Is there a rule to help remember the gender of bagagem?
Could we use levar instead of trazer for the word "bring"?
Portuguese makes a strict distinction based on direction. Trazer means "to bring" (toward the speaker's location). If the passenger were taking the items away from the speaker to another place, you would use levar (to take), making it levará.
