"They have keys."

Translation: Eles têm chaves.

Is it the same "chaves" than "teclas"?

[Paulenrique]

In english they are the same. But chaves is for cars, doors, and teclas is for keyboards, for example :)

Obrigado!

I got a reject for "Elas têm as chaves" - could you explain to me why?

[Paulenrique]

They have the keys.

[jsmoir]

Wow-same sound (tem, te>m). I don't remember seeing the plural form before.

[Paulenrique]

Tem is singular: ele/ela tem (he/she has). Eles/elas têm (they have). They have the same pronunciation in Brazil.

[LeoK86]

Is "Vocês têm chaves" not possible here? Why?

[LeoK86]

I got it - that would mean "You have keys", not "They have keys"

[MijEnreha]

Desculpo why not temos

[Paulenrique]

"Temos" is used for "nós": we have.

Why is ‘Têm chaves,’ wrong? The fact that ‘they’ are the subject is clear from the verb conjugation, right?
