"Eu quero dar um computador para minha filha."

Translation: I want to give a computer to my daughter.

Why is "para" used here?

[Paulenrique]

to= para (preposition) you dá something para someone.

[YaYaMo]

Why not para A minha filha? I could swear the A was there in an almost identical sentence elsewhere?

[Davu]

That is also correct. The use of the definite article with possessive adjectives is optional. See this discussion for more about this point and the difference between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/64947

É possível escrever: quero dar lhe ... a ...

[Paulenrique]

No, lhe is used in lieu of the preposition a or para: eu quero lhe dar/dar-lhe um computador.

[aalvarado17]

Obrigado. Nesta oração, 'eu' é requerido?

[Paulenrique]

Não não, ele é opicional! =)

''I wanna give a computer to my daughter'' was my answer and not accepted lol

[MahoobShaurin]

Can the Para here be replaced with á (a+a) or just a ?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, both "a" and "à" are correct here.
