Boa tarde, leitores! Good afternoon, readers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is <\/span>dia das elei\u00e7\u00f5es<\/span><\/i> (election day) in Brazil, so millions of Brazilians are heading to polls with hope for the next four years in our country. Although many are fearing that the future might be <\/span>tenebroso<\/b>. But we will be talking more about that in future posts, once we get definite results. As for now, we are going to take a deeper into some Portuguese adjectives. After all, in times like these we need them constantly in order to try to describe the situations we are living in.<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjectives that end in <\/span>-oso<\/b> or <\/span>-osa<\/b> in Portuguese are very common. Chances are, therefore that whenever you come across a word ending in <\/span>-oso<\/b> or<\/span> -osa<\/b>, they are most likely an adjective. It is pronounced like <\/span>oh-zoh <\/span><\/i>or<\/span> oh-zah<\/span><\/i>. They would be equivalent to \u201cous\u201d in English, as in <\/span>famous, delicious, fabulous, enormous, generous, ridiculous<\/span><\/i>, etctera (although their translation into Portuguese will not always end in -oso or -osa, but in some cases it is). We have got hundreds of words ending like this in our language, so it is a good idea to start getting to know them to help you practice. Keep in mind that -oso<\/strong> is for masculine words and -osa<\/strong> is for feminine words. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ficaram <\/span>curiosos<\/span><\/i>? Got <\/span>curious<\/span><\/i>?\u00a0<\/span>So let\u2019s take a look at some examples:<\/span><\/p>\n
