"My husband is a good man."

Translation: Meu marido é um bom homem.

[gregkaleka]

In Portuguese, is it preferable to have the adjective before or after the noun, or doesn't it matter? "Um bom homem" vs "um homem bom". Both appear to be accepted; I'm just wondering if there's a stylistic consideration.

What's the difference between homen and homem?

[..BATMAN..]

'homen' does not exist. It's a wrong word

[Kajo76]

You probably made a typo and wanted to ask what's the difference between homens and homem?

Simply put: homem is singular (=man), homens is plural (=men)

[donMiti]

I can't tell the difference between meu and Minha

[Kajo76]

Both are meaning "my" or "mine".

"meu" is used with masculine words, "minha" with feminine ones :-)
