When we talk about bisavós, we are referring to your great-grandparents. This word is super practical because it means both your great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers all at once. So, you don't need to learn two different words for them! Think of it like a handy umbrella term for that generation before your grandparents.
When talking about your family, you'll eventually get to your great-grandparents! In Portuguese, we have a specific word for both great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers combined: bisavós.
It's similar to how 'grandparents' in English can refer to both grandmother and grandfather. You use 'bisavós' when you're talking about both of them together, or when the gender isn't specified or isn't important in that context.
When talking about your family, especially your ancestors, knowing how to refer to your great-grandparents is useful. The word for great-grandparents in Portuguese is bisavós. This word is a plural noun and refers to both great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers collectively. If you want to specify, you can say bisavô for great-grandfather and bisavó for great-grandmother. It's similar to how 'grandparents' in English can be either gender, but you have 'grandfather' and 'grandmother' for specific genders.
When discussing family, it's common to refer to great-grandparents. In Portuguese, we use the word bisavós, which is a plural noun. It's important to note that this term is inclusive of both great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers, similar to how "grandparents" in English can refer to both.
If you need to specify, you can say bisavôs for great-grandfathers and bisavós for great-grandmothers, but generally, the collective term is sufficient. Understanding terms like this helps build a strong foundation for discussing family relationships in Portuguese.

使い方
Bisavós refers to both great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers collectively. If you need to specify, you can say bisavô for great-grandfather and bisavó for great-grandmother. It's similar to how pais can mean 'parents' (both mother and father) or just 'fathers' depending on context.
A common mistake is to try and create a plural for only great-grandmothers or great-grandfathers using bisavós. For example, saying 'minhas bisavós' to mean 'my great-grandmothers' is incorrect if you are trying to specifically exclude great-grandfathers. In that case, you would use minhas bisavós (feminine plural) or meus bisavôs (masculine plural) if speaking only of great-grandfathers. Remember, bisavós (plural with 'o') is the gender-neutral plural for both.
