🔎 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)
✴️ Deve (should)
