Questions & Answers about Nós descarregamos sempre aplicações novas.
Why does sempre come after the verb here?
What is the infinitive of descarregamos?
The verb is descarregar. While it means "to download" in a technology context, its original literal meaning is "to unload" (like cargo from a truck) or "to discharge".
Are apps always called aplicações in Portugal?
Yes, aplicações is the standard word for apps in Portugal (unlike in Brazil, where they say aplicativos). You might also hear Portuguese people simply use the English word "apps" in casual conversation. Because aplicações is feminine and plural, it requires the feminine plural adjective novas to match.
Why is it aplicações novas instead of novas aplicações?
In Portuguese, descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun they describe. So instead of "new apps", the words are ordered as "apps new" (aplicações novas).
