Parts of the Body
"Doer" — Expressing pain
Portuguese uses doer (to hurt) with an indirect object:
- Dói-me a cabeça. → My head hurts. (lit. "It hurts me the head")
- Doem-me as costas. → My back hurts.
- Dói-te o estômago? → Does your stomach hurt?
Key pattern: "Dói-me" vs "Doem-me"
- Dói-me → singular (one body part)
- Doem-me → plural (multiple body parts)
Examples:
- Dói-me o braço. → My arm hurts. (singular)
- Doem-me os pés. → My feet hurt. (plural)
Describing physical states
- Estou doente. — I am sick.
- Estou cansado/a. — I am tired.
- Sinto-me mal. — I feel bad.
- Sinto-me bem. — I feel well.
- Tenho febre. — I have a fever.
Tip: Like "ter fome," physical states use ter: ter febre (fever), ter dores (pain), ter tosse (cough).
