Words in this story
Casar (marry)
The verb “casar” (to marry) derives from the word “casa” (house), as do the terms “casamento” (wedding) and “casal” (married/romantic couple).
To say who someone marries, we use the preposition “com” (with) after the verb. It is also common to use the reflexive form of the verb (casar-se). For example:
- 💍 Eu casei/casei-me com o João (I married João)
- 💒 A Ana e o João casaram/casaram-se (Ana and João got married)
