كيف تعمل هذه القاعدة

Let's break down the rules for Portuguese numbers, dates, and time that will become your new best friends! First, we tackle Cardinal Numbers: Zero and beyond. The number zero is simply
zero
(zero).
When counting, most numbers are straightforward, but pay attention to um (one) and dois (two). They change based on the gender of the noun they modify: um (masculine) becomes uma (feminine), and dois (masculine) becomes duas (feminine). For example,
um livro
(one book) but
uma caneta
(one pen).
Similarly,
dois carros
(two cars) but
duas casas
(two houses). This is a key aspect of Portuguese Numbers: Counting and Agreement (1-100+). For compound numbers, remember to use
e
(and) between tens and units:
vinte e cinco
(twenty-five), or hundreds and tens:
cento e um
(one hundred and one).
Next, let's explore the Portuguese Days: Why Monday is She and Saturday is He. Most days of the week, from Monday to Friday, end in
-feira
(which means 'fair' or 'market day' historically) and are feminine:
segunda-feira
(Monday),
terça-feira
(Tuesday),
quarta-feira
(Wednesday),
quinta-feira
(Thursday),
sexta-feira
(Friday). However, Saturday (sábado) and Sunday (domingo) are masculine.
You'll often hear the -feira dropped in casual speech for the weekdays.
Moving on to Portuguese Months & Their Gender (Always Masculine!). All months in Portuguese are masculine. This means they are almost always preceded by the definite article
o
(the masculine the), even when just stating the month.
For instance,
o janeiro
(January),
o março
(March),
o dezembro
(December). You'll use this when talking about events happening in specific months.
Finally, let's master Telling Time: Minutes in Portuguese. To ask the time, you say
Que horas são?
(What time is it?). To answer, you use
É uma hora
(It's one o'clock) for one o'clock, and
São duas horas
(It's two o'clock) for all other hours.
For minutes, you simply add them after the hour:
São três e quinze
(It's three fifteen). For half past, you can say
e meia
(and a half), like
São sete e meia
(It's seven thirty). This comprehensive approach to A1 Portuguese will have you navigating daily conversations with ease.

O sábado é o meu dia favorito.

(two) change their form to agree with the gender of the noun they refer to.

السياق الثقافي

In daily Portuguese life, you'll find these numbers, dates, and times are incredibly practical. Brazilians and Continental Portuguese speakers both use the 24-hour clock for formal contexts (like train schedules), but the 12-hour clock is common in casual conversation, often clarified with
da manhã
(in the morning) or
da tarde/noite
(in the afternoon/evening). For dates, Portugal typically uses dd/mm/yyyy, while Brazil more commonly uses dd/mm/yyyy but sometimes mm/dd/yyyy in informal contexts.
Don't be surprised if native speakers sometimes drop the -feira from weekdays (e.g.,
segunda
instead of
segunda-feira
).

نصائح وحيل (4)

💡

دايماً جمع بعد الصفر

قد يبدو الأمر غريباً، بس في البرتغالية الصفر بيحب الجمع. فكر فيها كأنك بتقول 'صفر من الأشياء'. مثلاً:
Eu tenho zero erros.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: الأعداد الأصلية: صفر (Zero)
🎯

سر كلمة 'Meia'

في البرازيل، لما حد يمليك رقم تليفونه، غالباً هيقول 'meia' بدل 'seis' عشان ميتلخبطش مع رقم 7:
Meu número é nove meia oito...

سر الـ Feira

في الكلام اليومي، قول 'segunda' بس بدل 'segunda-feira'. كدة هتبان كأنك ابن البلد: Até segunda.

أسئلة شائعة (6)

الكلمة هي zero. وتستخدم تماماً مثل الإنجليزية والعربية في العد والنتائج والطقس.
لا، كلمة zero ثابتة. تستخدمها مع المذكر مثل zero carros ومع المؤنث مثل zero casas بدون أي تغيير.
نعم، إذا كان يصف اسماً. استخدم um للمذكر و uma للمؤنث، مثل: um carro و uma bicicleta.
نفس القاعدة! نقول dois للمذكر و duas للمؤنث، مثل: dois cafés و duas cervejas.
أي يوم آخره '-feira' (من الإثنين للجمعة) هو مؤنث لأن كلمة 'feira' نفسها مؤنثة: A quarta-feira.
يوم الأحد هو 'domingo'، وأصله لاتيني وما فيهوش كلمة '-feira' فبيتعامل معاملة المذكر: O domingo é ótimo.
