"O que interessa a eles é dinheiro."

Translation: What matters to them is money.

Couldn't this be said as "what interests them is money"?

[MikeFen]

Haha. I thought of answering "what matters to them..." which is more natural than "what interests them..." But I eventually translated it literally because I was afraid of losing a heart. It's all DL's fault :)

[Lavmarx]

I used "Wha matters to them" and it was correct! :)

[Paulenrique]

Yes!

[GrannySlasher]

Given that "interests" and "matters" mean two different things, how do we say "what interests them is money" (perhaps the study of foreign currencies)?

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

Can you use os instead of eles? aos?

[Paulenrique]

o que LHES interessa... - since you have a preposition...

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

Oh yeah I remember now.. Is interessa a eles the common way of saying it or no difference?

[Paulenrique]

yes, it is more common...

[Lavmarx]

I don't think so.

[mrule]

is "money is what interests them" ok as well?

[KenjiIV]

Does it remain correct if I add the article "o" to "dinherio"? O que interessa a eles é o dinheiro.

[petesimone]

To them = à eles (but accent missing)?
