"Tenta o verde e o azul."

Translation: Try the green and the blue.

[Klyamada]

Can "e" also be translated as "or"?

[Paulenrique]

Surely.. translating "or" as e is totally wrong. E =AND, É = IS, O = THE (masculine), OU = OR

[serge.gali]

It said "try green or blue" is the right answer, while "try green and blue" (that was mine) is wrong?

[Paulenrique]

Just report the error.

[floaton47]

Isn't this the imperative form? If so, why isn't it "tente"?

[Paulenrique]

"tente" and "tenta" are imperative forms.

[floaton47]

Is there any difference between "tenta" and "tente"?

Also, are we just to examine context to determine between tenta as imperative and tenta as 3rd person singular?

[Paulenrique]

tenta (tu), tente (você). To avoid misunderstandings, it's better to use the pronoun when it is not imperative.

[emeyr]

Isn't "tenta" colloquial and "tente" more formal and correct? ...At least for third-person imperative?

[Paulenrique]

Not anymore in Brazil. They are used in the same contexts.

[emeyr]

obrigada!

[GusPen]

why the audio sounds different when translating the whole sentence or the single word "Tenta"? Thanks!

[cdjaimesh]

if I understood you, i had the same problem. I think that in the fast pronunciation the "a" of "tenta" is vanished for the "o" (o verde) so i heard "tento verde..." :)

[Paulenrique]

And the same for the real conversation.
