"My coat"

Translation: Meu casaco

[Ntin]

Would it be right if I wrote "meu agasalho"? Is it the same?

[Paulenrique]

agasalho is any clothing for the cold weather. casaco is more specific...

[Ntin]

Obrigada!

[jsmoir]

Please, specific to what? The picture for casaco had a woman wearing what we in the Cold climates would call an 'overcoat.' So, it isn't?

[Paulenrique]

coat = casaco / overcoat = sobretudo

[jsmoir]

Ok, then either the picture is of a person with hypothermia issues, or I am completely confused. LOL

What's wrong with "Minha casaco?"
I though minha is for girl/woman...

[jspeis]

Because casaco is masculine I think

[DREDWARD]

I BELIEVE CASACO IS MASCULINE,THEREFORE O

[Elsebeth5]

I learned capote for coat, my dictionaire Saïd the same

[gustavohsantos]

Hi Elsebeth! The word "capote" is not a common word. I suggest you to use "casaco"... Besides... "capote" won't be understand in some parts of Brazil.

[Elsebeth5]

I learned capote in Brasil. Now I am in Portugal and like to learn the portuguese version, regards
Elsebet

what is the difference between 'minha casaco' and 'meu casaco'

[JoaoDSouza]

meu casaco is grammatically correct while minha casaco is not. That's the difference. Here (and everywhere), casaco is a masculine noun. (O) Meu is used before masculine words.

What's wrong with cobrem?

[Paulenrique]

"Cobrem" is a verb conjugation: eles cobrem = they cover.

Dumb question: would I use jaqueta???

[Paulenrique]

Jaqueta = jacket
