Placement of Reflexive and Object Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos) and object pronouns (me, te, o, a, lhe, nos, vos, os, as, lhes) are categorised as clitic or unstressed pronouns. They must be placed next to a verb and pronounced together as a single unit.

In European Portuguese, the placement of clitic pronouns is governed by specific rules that depend on the sentence structure and the presence of certain ‘magnetic words.’

Here's a comprehensive guide to help you understand where to place clitic pronouns in different contexts.
