Wizard’s Wisdom: Gender Agreement

In Portuguese, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they describe. For example, if you’re saying ‘the red car,’ you would say o carro vermelho (masculine) but ‘the red house’ would be a casa vermelha (feminine). Pay attention to this rule when using beginner phrases!
