Ol\u00e1!<\/p>\n

Today is Friday and we’re getting ready for the weekend so let’s finish our week with a tip that will help you to learn and improve your Portuguese: how to use onde<\/strong> and aonde<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Onde<\/strong> (where) is used to indicate the place where you are or where something is happening. It is usually used with verbs that express state or permanence.<\/p>\n

Onde<\/strong> voc\u00ea est\u00e1? [Where are you?]<\/em>
\nOnde<\/strong> voc\u00ea vai ficar nas pr\u00f3ximas f\u00e9rias? [Where are you going to stay on your next vacation?]<\/em>
\nDiscrimine of locais onde<\/strong> as tropas permanecer\u00e3o estacionadas. [Specify the places where the troops will be stationed.]<\/em>
\nN\u00e3o sei onde<\/strong> come\u00e7ar a procurar. [I don’t know where to start looking.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Aonde<\/strong> (where… to) indicates the idea of movement or closeness. It is opposed to onde<\/strong>, which gives an idea of being far. It is usually used with movement verbs like ir<\/strong> [to go]<\/em>, chegar<\/strong> [to arrive]<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n

Aonde<\/strong> voc\u00ea vai? [Where are you going?]<\/em>
\nAonde<\/strong> voc\u00ea quer chegar com essa atitude? [Where are trying to go with that attitude?]<\/em>
\nAonde<\/strong> devo dirigir-me para obter esclarecimentos? [Where do I have to go for information?]<\/em>
\nN\u00e3o sei aonde<\/strong> ir. [I don’t know where to go.]<\/em><\/p>\n

This is it for today! Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
