"Ele chegou tarde por causa da neve." He arrived late because of the snow.

Could you say "porque" instead of "por causa"?

[Paulenrique]

No. "Por causa" and "por que" mean the same in this context, but we use "por causa de + noun" and "por que + verb" Ele chegou atrasado por causa da neve = ele chegou atrasado por que nevou.

Snow in Brazil??? ;-)

[LinguDemo]

There's actually a temperate zone in Brazil, the southernmost region. Are you referring to that area? c:

[godlessprimate]

In all the time I've lived and visited BR, I've never seen snow there. Mostly I was just joking.

[Paulenrique]

This year, the feeling was -29,0ºC in some towns in Brazil.

[godlessprimate]

Wow! Actual temperature, or windchill index?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, the windchill index. The actual temperature was about -4ºC I think.
