“Como” in Portuguese – More Than Just “How”
The Portuguese word Como is way more than just a question word. In fact, I can think of 4 other ways of using Como! Let’s take a look at it.
Como → How
Como estás hoje?
How are you today?
Como é que fizeste isso?
How did you do that?
Como → Like
Ler um livro é como viajar.
Reading a book is like traveling.
És teimoso como o teu pai.
You are stubborn like your father.
Como → as
O concerto foi bom como esperado.
The concert was as good as expected.
Trabalhei como cozinheiro durante 3 anos.
I worked as a cook for three years.
Como se → As if
Falas comigo como se eu tivesse 5 anos.
You talk to me as if I was five years old.
Os fãs do Hamilton ficam desapontados sempre que ele não ganha, como se os outros pilotos não fossem competitivos.
Hamilton fans are disappointed whenever he doesn’t win as if the other drivers weren’t competitive.
Como – Since/Because

Since it was raining a lot, I stayed at home and watched a movie.
Como é fim de semana vamos aproveitar para ir à praia.

What learners say
I love the mix of formats. The listening pieces, lessons, short reads, and idioms cover different angles, so I don’t get stuck doing the same thing. It keeps me coming back.
~ Olivia ~
It doesn’t feel like studying in the boring sense. The tone is light, but the practice is solid, and I’ve noticed I can put sentences together more easily.
~ Giulia ~
Everything feels well put together. I’ll watch a lesson, read a quick explanation when I’m confused, and then do a few exercises. Everything I need is in one place and easy to find.
~ Liam ~
Portuguese used to feel messy, like I was putting in effort but not getting results. With Portuguesepedia, I can focus on what I actually need, and I’ve started noticing real improvement week by week.
~ Ebba ~
Portuguesepedia makes grammar feel manageable. The explanations are clear, short, and practical, and they help me understand what’s happening so I can use it in my own sentences.
~ Maria ~
I’d been trying to learn Portuguese for years, but I never felt confident using it. Textbooks were too much, and speaking classes made me freeze. With Portuguesepedia, things finally started to make sense.
