意味
To compose and pen a written message.
文化的背景
The movie 'Central do Brasil' (Central Station) made the act of writing letters for others a symbol of national empathy and the struggle against illiteracy. Fernando Pessoa, the famous poet, wrote 'Cartas de Amor' to Ophélia Queiroz, which are now considered a masterpiece of Portuguese romantic prose. During the colonial war, 'cartas' were the only way soldiers could communicate with their families back in Portugal or in other provinces, often censored by the government. In many 'Mornas' (traditional songs), the 'carta' represents the link between the islands and the diaspora in the US or Europe.
Use 'Para'
In Brazil, always use 'para' for the recipient. It sounds more natural than 'a'.
