Prepositions ‘De’ vs ‘Em’ in Portuguese (Mode of Transport)
In Portuguese, ‘de’ is used for general references to the mode of transport, while ’em’ is used for specific instances. Remember, ‘de’ remains in its basic form, while ’em’ contracts with definite articles and other determiners. Let’s take a few examples.
Example 1
Hoje vou de carro para o trabalho.
I’m driving to work today.
as opposed to,
Hoje vou no carro do meu irmão para o trabalho.
Today I’m going to work in my brother’s car. (Not just any car.)
Example 2
O Felipe foi de metro para o aeroporto.
Felipe took the metro to the airport.
as opposed to,
O Felipe foi no metro da linha azul para o aeroporto.
Felipe took the Blue Line metro to the airport. (Not just any metro.)
Example 3
Amanhã vamos de barco até Porto Santo.
Tomorrow we’re going by boat to Porto Santo.
as opposed to,
Amanhã vamos no barco das 8h até Porto Santo.
Tomorrow we’ll take the 8 am boat to Porto Santo. (Not just any boat.)

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.
