"Eu caminho de manhã."

Translation: I walk in the morning.

I am confused! !!

[connal]

I'm confused as to why this is 'de manha' when it means 'in the'. Should it not be 'na manha'?

[Paulenrique]

in the morning = de manhã. "na manhã" is used for a specific morning: Na manhã de segunda-feira = On Monday morning.

[FKane]

Are "pela manhã" and "de manhã" generally interchangeable?

I ask because of the "eu bebo leite pela manhã" sentence/question.

[UserBob]

More or less. The means is like. Eu bebo leite de manhã ou pela manhã are equals.

[PeterWhaley]

I walk mornings is also correct in English

[prayeradime12]

my question is on the word used for "in".

it seems usually the portuguese word for "in" is "em".

why not here?

thanks to those who've commented/answered my posts! awesome feature.

Don't try to apply English rules to Portuguese. Don't try to decorate rules. Don't try to use logic. Accept it open-heartedely as the children do, practice, allow yourself to err, err many, many times, listen, listen, listen, and it will slowly start to make sense.

I walk mornings is also correct! There are MORE than 1 way to say things in English, as well as in many other languages. But, not accepted.

How would I say "I walk from morning"? Or "I walk from morning until dawn"? The multiple uses of "de" are SO FRUSTRATING grrrrrr!!
