"I had my first kiss at the library."

Translation: Eu dei o meu primeiro beijo na biblioteca.

[tuuky]

I have = "eu tive" not "eu dei" You can say "eu tive meu primeiro beijo..."

[AnaLydiate]

Right? Doesn't this mean 'I gave'?

[gpriddy]

I agree tuuky.

[Duomail]

"Tive meu primeiro beijo na biblioteca" is accepted now.

[andreaparker]

Ridiculous!! No indication was given about who was kissing whom!

[erudis]

What? I don't understand your confusion. The subject "I" is very clear in the sentence, and the person kissed was never mentioned. "Na biblioteca" means in/at the library, he didn't kiss the library.

[PetoG]

Well, did you get the sentence in English, in order to translate it to Portuguese?

"I had my first kiss..." -> how do you know whether they mean you kissed someone, or you were kissed by someone?

[PaulRobert6]

Beh. Should be "gave", not "had"!!!

[stakesishigh]

Im my experience, brasilians aggressively go for kisses, thereby 'giving' a kiss... whereas in english speakimg countries they passively, 'had' their first kiss. Thoughts?

[YaYaMo]

I've internalized that the adjective comes after the substantive. Now it was marked incorrect. Why is 'meu beijo primeiro' wrong? Is it due to the uniqueness of the first kiss - there's only one?

[gpriddy]

Paulenrique, what's wrong with "Eu tive" here?

[LyricalWordsmith]

Dar=to give, ter=to have. Yes the literal translation is "I had my first kiss at the library." However you don't "have" kiss, you "give" one. It's confusing, but meh.

[Keziamara]

If someone sneaks up behind you at the library and kisses the back of your neck. You have HAD a kiss, but in no means did you GIVE a kiss. This is a very bad question because of culture differences
