"I have just received her answer."

Translation: Eu acabei de receber a resposta dela.

[SilentAnnie]

I cannot find the word "just" in the translation, is that in combination with "acabei"?

[Sodbrennen]

Yes, "acabar de fazer uma coisa", means having just done sth.

[dsteck]

I think you can also say "Eu acabo de receber a resposta dela." Is this different from "Eu acabei de receber a resposta dela"?

[Paulenrique]

It seems similar. A slight difference may be in"eu acabo de.." being used when you are directly talking to someone, and "acabei de..." when you report/state something/fact.

[mariaaa]

Paulenrique, what do you mean by reporting something? Do you mean more formal language in a e.g. bureaucratic setting?

[Paulenrique]

no... when you relate something you have heard/been told. "ela disse que acabara de chegar em casa" = "she said she had just arrived home".

[naddaf.amir89]

Can't it be "eu já recebi.."? Or does já only mean "already"?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, it would have a different meaning (already).

[Thomas.Heiss]

I tried something similar like naddaf.amir89.

"(I) have received" tricked me in trying "(Eu) tenho recebido".
And I wrongly translated "just" as "já".

So could my (wrong) answer "Eu já tenho recebido a resposta dela" maybe be used as a direct translation for "I have already received her reply"?

And "tinha recebido" can probably only be used alone (not with já/already) or with the above suggestion https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/886963?comment_id=1217330:

"Eu tinha acabado de receber a resposta dela" = "I had just received her answer"?!

[keltikfrost]

it shows me the answer as "recém recebi sua resposta."

i think this is a bug?

[Paulenrique]

This version is used in the south region of Brazil.

[amo_linguas_]

isn't just "justamente?"

eu justamente acabou de receber a sua resposta?

[AlexDSSF]

Wouldn't "Eu acabei de recever a resposta dela" be translated as "I HAD just received her answer" instead of "I have just received her answer"?

[Paulenrique]

no, that would be "eu tinha acabado de receber..."

[TygerK]

Any opinions on my response?

"Eu recebi a resposta dela agora já."

[iceabella15]

I think you need to reorder the words and I would use recém instead of agora já:
Eu recém recebi a resposta dela
