Wait why is it A refeicao if it ends in a o making it male
Well, it is a general rule that nouns ended in o are masculine, but the ones ended on -ção are most probably female
same with french.. the ones ended on -tion are most probably féminine.
Why "ele come o prato" ? You mean "prato" = "dish"?
Yes!
"Ele come o prato" is the answer duolingo gives me for "he eats the meal, but i thought prato was plate? Is that an expression?!
Prato = plate/dish
But "ele come o prato" is closer to "he eats the plate" =)
How about "ele come a comida". Isnt food and meal the same?
(your sentence) → It just means "he eats the food". It could be any morsel.., whereas a meal is likely filling... You might also consider a meal normally consists of more than one thing. Comida could be just A baby carrot (cenoura).
(it didnt post the rest of what I typed for some reason........)
"Idk the term for baby"_ carrot. Perhaps, cenoura bebê or maybe its more like cenourinha*? The latter I'm guessing... (Help - ajude)
Cenoura bebê ? No ideais lol
Error? I said "Ele come a refeição" , but it only accepts "Ele come a prato".
"Ele come a refeição" is accepted.
I had similar query but noted someone else already had asked ,and reply has been given
