Concordância Nominal - Aula 01 [Prof Noslen]

Introduction to Concordância Nominal

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of concordância nominal and its importance in Portuguese grammar.

Understanding Concordância Nominal

• Concordância nominal refers to the agreement between adjectives, pronouns, numerals, and articles with the noun they refer to.

• It is important to ensure that these words agree in gender and number with the corresponding noun.

• For example, if we have a masculine plural noun, all associated words should also be in masculine plural form.

Special Rules for Concordância Nominal

• There are several special rules for concordância nominal that need to be considered.

• These rules determine how adjectives, pronouns, numerals, and articles should agree with the noun they refer to.

• One example is when there are two nouns of the same gender. The agreement can be made with either noun depending on proximity.

• Example: "Os nossos dois brinquedos preferidos foram quebrados" (Our two favorite toys were broken)

Concordance with Nouns of Different Genders

• When dealing with two nouns of different genders, the agreement is always made in masculine plural form.

• This rule applies regardless of which noun comes first or second.

• Example: "Ele apresentou argumento e razão justos" (He presented a fair argument and reason)

Placement of Objective before Nouns

• When an objective is placed before nouns and there is a significant verb involved, concordance is made based on proximity.

• If the verb is an action verb, agreement will be made with the closest noun.

• Example: "Nunca vi tamanho desrespeito e ingratidão" (I have never seen such disrespect and ingratitude)

Verbs of Linking

• When dealing with verbs of linking, concordance is made based on the gender and number of the objective.

• In this case, the objective can be placed before or after the nouns.

• Example: "Permaneceram fechados à porta o portão" (They remained closed at the door and gate)
