C1 noun

resquício

When you see or hear the word resquício, think of it as a small leftover piece or a faint sign of something that used to be there but is mostly gone. Imagine a crumb of cake left on a plate after everyone has eaten, or a small mark on the wall where a picture used to hang. It's like a memory, a trace, or a tiny part that remains.

For example, if there was a big fire, a resquício could be a small piece of burnt wood that wasn't completely destroyed. Or, if a strong wind blew through, you might find a resquício of a leaf stuck in a corner. It's not the whole thing, but just a little bit that tells you something was once there.

Wichtige Grammatik

Nouns in Portuguese have gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). 'Resquício' is a masculine singular noun.

O último resquício de esperança. (The last remnant of hope.)

Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. So, if 'resquício' is masculine singular, the adjective will also be masculine singular.

Um pequeno resquício do passado. (A small trace of the past.)

Prepositions often precede nouns to show relationship or direction. 'De' (of/from) is commonly used with 'resquício' to indicate what the remnant is of.

Resquícios de uma civilização antiga. (Remnants of an ancient civilization.)

Determiners (articles like 'o/a', 'um/uma') agree with the noun's gender and number. 'O' or 'um' are used with 'resquício'.

Havia um resquício de neve na montanha. (There was a trace of snow on the mountain.)

Verbs are conjugated to agree with the subject of the sentence. The verb tense will depend on when the 'resquício' existed or was observed.

Ainda restam resquícios daquele tempo. (Remnants of that time still remain.)
