"He is the third victim."

Translation: Ele é a terceira vítima.

[pflannagan]

I thought vitima could be masculine or feminine and depending on whether it was a man or woman, it would change the pronoun (O vitima = man, A vitima = woman) ??

[Paulenrique]

no, vítima is always a feminine word!

[sambduo]

Confusing...

[RaiderRandy22]

But since the victim was a man, why wouldn't you use the masculine form of 30? "HE was the (3rd/terceiro) victim"??

[Paulenrique]

Vítima is a feminine noun, so "terceiro" has to agree with it.

[MeiaSala]

So confusing when a lot of -ma nouns are male, c.f. O Programa. Thanks for the clarification as always!

[f4nt4sm1n]

Isn't there a male victim word in portuguese, like victimo in spanish?

[JCMcGee]

Do all these words (2nd 3rd, 4th etc....) have masculine and feminine genders?

[Paulenrique]

Yes! And singular and plural. Segundo, segundos, segunda, segundas.

Among the options there is this one:

• Ele é a terceira garotice.

What is "a garotice" ?

[Paulenrique]

Good question =)

According to a dictionary, garotice = boy life. (https://michaelis.uol.com.br/moderno-portugues/busca/portugues-brasileiro/garotice/)
