Questions & Answers about Entre nós, ele é o mais alto.
Why does the Portuguese sentence use o mais alto for 'tallest'?
In Portuguese, there is no '-est' ending for adjectives like in English. To say 'the tallest', you literally say 'the most tall' (o mais alto). You form this by using the definite article (o, a, os, as) plus mais plus the adjective.
Does entre mean 'among' or 'between'?
It can mean both! In Portuguese, entre is used whether you are talking about being between two things or among a larger group. Here, entre nós translates perfectly to 'among us'.
If we were talking about a woman, how would o mais alto change?
I learned that pronouns change after prepositions, like using mim instead of eu. Why is nós used here?
You are right that some pronouns change when they follow a preposition (like para mim). However, the pronoun nós (we/us) stays exactly the same whether it is the main subject of the sentence or comes after a preposition.
