Portuguese Vocabulary

Here is a fact that reorders the whole week: most Portuguese weekday names are built from numbers, so Monday is segunda-feira (literally "second day"). Quirks like that run through Portuguese vocabulary, and these quizzes cover the everyday words a beginner reaches for first.

Essential Brazilian Portuguese Vocabulary

Each quiz matches Portuguese words to their English meanings, topic by topic. You will pick up greetings like muito prazer (nice to meet you), colors such as azul (blue), household items like janela (window), travel words including aeroporto (airport), and numbers from zero (zero) up past cem (one hundred).

The sets reach into describing people, jobs, school, shopping, telling time, and the question words that keep a conversation moving. Because these are things you say and see every day, the vocabulary tends to stick quickly.

Brazilian Portuguese with Audio Pronunciation

Reading a word is one thing; saying it well is another. Each quiz includes audio of the Portuguese, so you can copy the rhythm of a word like obrigado (thank you) instead of guessing how it should roll off your tongue.

The Slips That Trip Up Beginners

One classic false friend is livraria, which is a bookstore, not a library; the place you borrow books is a biblioteca. Numbers hold a small surprise too, since one hundred is cem on its own but shifts to cento the moment you add more, so one hundred ten is cento e dez.

The sets stay close to the situations you actually meet, from checking into a hotel to finding the right platform or making small talk about the weather. Because the phrases come grouped by topic, you can focus on one slice of the language at a time instead of facing a long, jumbled list.

One small reward of the numbers is spotting patterns, since Portuguese builds bigger figures by joining smaller words you already know with e (and).

Brazilians warm up fast when you make the effort, so start with the phrases or numbers you will use most and try the free interactive Portuguese quizzes.

💬 Basic Phrases

Heading to Brazil and want to make a great first impression? These quizzes on basic Portuguese phrases give you the everyday words and expressions you need for real conversations, complete with audio so you hear them said correctly. Essential Portuguese Phrases for Beginners Across six quizzes, you will practice introducing yourself, asking for and understanding directions, buying tickets at a train station, and chatting about the weather and the seasons. You will pick up polite staples like por favor (please) and muito prazer (nice to meet you), plus friendly fillers such as vamos lá (let's go) that make you sound natural rather than rehearsed. These are exactly the phrases that smooth out a trip, whether you are checking into a hotel, finding the right platform, or making small talk with someone you just met. Even a handful of well-said expressions tends to earn a warm response from the people you meet in Brazil. Brazilians are famously welcoming, and showing that you have made the effort to learn a few words often opens the door to friendlier, more relaxed conversations. Brazilian Portuguese Phrases with Audio Pronunciation Reading a phrase is one thing, but saying it well is another. Each quiz lets you hear how the words are really meant to sound, so you can copy the rhythm of português (Portuguese) instead of guessing how it should roll off your tongue. That makes a real difference with greetings and thank-yous, where a confident delivery goes a long way. How the Quizzes Work Each quiz is short, around ten questions, and takes only a few minutes, so you can fit one in whenever you have a spare moment. You can repeat any of them as often as you like, which is the fastest way to lock in the phrases before a trip. Ready to handle your first conversations in Brazil with confidence? Try these free interactive Portuguese quizzes and start speaking from day one.

Colors

Adding color words is one of the most useful first steps in any language, and this set covers Portuguese colors from the everyday basics to the trickier shades. If you are learning essential Portuguese vocabulary, matching English colors to their translations is a satisfying place to begin. Portuguese Color Words for Beginners You will translate familiar colors like preto (black), azul (blue), and verde (green), then move into a fuller palette with shades such as laranja (orange) and rosa (pink). Later questions reach for more specific tones like sky blue and turquoise, and one set even slips in a handy phrase for asking which color something is, so you can actually use the words rather than just recite them. Colors come up constantly in real conversation, from describing clothes to picking out objects, which makes this vocabulary worth getting solid early. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to twelve words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until the colors come without thinking. Did you know? Portuguese often pins down a specific shade by tacking on a describing word, so a lighter blue becomes azul-claro (light blue) and a darker one azul-escuro (dark blue). Catching that pattern early makes the trickier shades in the later quizzes far easier to handle, since you are combining words you already know rather than memorizing brand-new ones. Here is another small surprise. A few color names double as words for objects or materials, so laranja means both the color orange and the fruit, and rosa is both pink and a rose. That overlap shows up in lots of languages, and noticing it tends to make the words stick. How to get started Begin with the basic colors and work toward the specific shades at your own pace. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to start describing the world around you in Portuguese.

Describing People

Once you can describe people, conversations in a new language suddenly open up, and this set builds that skill in Portuguese. You will pick up the adjectives for looks, moods, and personality, the kind of essential Portuguese vocabulary you reach for when talking about a friend, a family member, or a character in a story. Describing People in Portuguese You will translate adjectives like bonito (handsome or good-looking), feliz (happy), and inteligente (smart), then move into feelings and states of mind with words such as triste (sad) and tímido (shy). The longest set mixes in useful verbs, including ones for reactions between people, like worrying someone or making them laugh. These are the words that let you go beyond names and facts and start saying what someone is actually like, which is where real conversation begins. How the quizzes work Each quiz holds around ten to fifteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can fit one into a break and repeat it until the adjectives feel natural. Did you know? Here is a key detail to watch. Many Portuguese adjectives change their ending depending on who you are describing, since the word matches the person's gender. So alto (tall) describes a man while alta describes a woman, which means one English word can have more than one correct Portuguese form. Paying attention to those endings as you learn saves a common slip later. There is a friendly shortcut too. Some of the emotion words look a lot like their English cousins, which makes them quick to absorb, while others are completely different and need more repetition. Sorting the easy lookalikes from the ones that take work is a smart way to study the list. How to get started Begin with the looks-and-moods set, then take on the verbs once the adjectives feel comfortable. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, a friendly way to start describing the people around you.

Entertainment

Talking about films, shows, and the arts is a fun way into a new language, and this set covers Portuguese entertainment vocabulary for exactly that. From actors to museums, you will pick up the everyday words that let you chat about a night out or what you like to watch. Portuguese Words for Movies and the Arts You will translate prompts like atriz (actress), comédia (comedy), and museu (museum), then branch into media and culture with words such as pintura (painting) and phrases like tocar piano (to play the piano). The list quietly mixes people, places, and types of show, so you build a small toolkit for talking about entertainment rather than just memorizing single nouns. It is practical vocabulary that comes up the moment you start making plans or sharing opinions, which makes it stick more easily than abstract word lists. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to twelve words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until the words settle. Did you know? Many genre names line up closely with English, which gives you a head start. Words like comédia (comedy), documentário (documentary), and ficção científica (science fiction) are close enough to guess, so several cards clear faster than the count suggests. That said, the lists slip in a couple of false friends, words that look familiar to English speakers but do not always mean what you first expect. Taking the set slowly the first time through helps you spot those before they trip you up, and after that you can pick up speed as the real meanings settle in. How to get started Begin with the films-and-shows set and work through the rest as your vocabulary grows. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to start talking about movies, music, and art in Portuguese.

Getting There

Finding your way around a Portuguese-speaking city gets a lot easier once you know the words for the places you pass and the directions you follow. This set builds practical Portuguese travel vocabulary, from shops and landmarks to the phrases that point the way. Portuguese Travel Vocabulary for Getting Around You will translate place words like aeroporto (airport), padaria (bakery), and banco (bank), then pick up directions such as à esquerda (to the left) and à direita (to the right). A few sets add whole questions you can use right away, including É longe? (Is it far?), so you leave with real lines rather than just isolated nouns. This is the everyday vocabulary a traveler actually uses, the kind that turns asking for directions or finding a shop from a guessing game into something you can handle on your own. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten words or phrases and takes about five minutes, so you can fit one into a break and repeat it until the words come without effort. Did you know? Watch out for one classic false friend. In Portuguese a livraria is a bookstore, not a library, even though it looks just like the English word "library." The place where you borrow books is a biblioteca. Mixing those two up is one of the most common beginner slips. There is good news too. Plenty of the place words sound close to their English versions, so hotel, banco, and supermercado (supermarket) often click into place faster than you expect, which leaves more of your energy for the trickier directions. How to get started Begin with whichever part of the trip you want to handle first, the shops, the directions, or the questions. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, a friendly way to build travel words you can use right away.

House

Naming the things around your home is some of the most useful early vocabulary in any language, and this set fills your Portuguese house with words. From furniture to the small everyday objects, you will learn to describe where you live one room at a time. Portuguese Vocabulary for Around the House You will translate items like poltrona (armchair), espelho (mirror), and janela (window), along with everyday fixtures such as cortina (curtain) and relógio (clock). The largest set gathers the smaller bits and pieces, from travesseiro (pillow) to parede (wall), so you cover just about every corner of a home. Because these are things you see and touch every day, the vocabulary tends to stick quickly, which makes it a great confidence builder when you are starting to talk about daily life. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to sixteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until naming things feels automatic. Did you know? The words group naturally by room, which is a handy study trick. Instead of treating the list as random, you can picture a bedroom or a living room and place each item in the scene, so the vocabulary becomes a picture rather than a column of words. That mental walk-through helps the names settle far faster. A few items also have more than one English label for the same kind of object, a quiet reminder that everyday things are not always named the same way in both languages. Noticing those small mismatches early keeps you from second-guessing yourself later. How to get started Try walking through your own rooms, labeling things in your head, then come back and test how many you already knew. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to describe your home in Portuguese.

Numbers

Numbers turn up everywhere, from prices and phone numbers to dates and addresses, so learning to count in Portuguese pays off fast. This set takes you all the way from the basics up to a million, building Portuguese numbers vocabulary one step at a time. Counting in Portuguese, From Zero to a Million You will start with the ordinals primeiro (first) through décimo (tenth), then run through the everyday counting words like zero (zero), sete (seven), and quinze (fifteen). From there the sets climb into the twenties and the round tens, with prompts such as vinte e um (twenty-one) and cinquenta (fifty), before reaching cem (one hundred), mil (one thousand), and beyond. This is arguably the most practical vocabulary you can drill, since these figures come up in nearly every real conversation, whether you are shopping, telling someone your age, or reading a clock. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to twelve words and takes about five minutes, so you can fit one into a break and repeat it until the numbers roll off easily. Did you know? Here is a quirk that catches learners out. The word for one hundred is cem when it stands alone, but it changes to cento the moment you add more, so one hundred ten becomes cento e dez. That little shift surprises people who expect a single fixed word. The bigger numbers are friendlier than they look, though. Portuguese builds them by joining smaller words you already know with e (and), so once you have the pieces, counting starts to feel like a system rather than an endless list to memorize. How to get started Begin with zero through ten, get those automatic, then climb the ladder toward the hundreds and thousands. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, a steady way to count through anything in Portuguese.

Occupations

One of the first questions you will ask, and answer, in a new language is what someone does for a living. This set covers Portuguese job titles, building the occupations vocabulary you need to talk about work, careers, and the people you meet. Portuguese Job Titles and Occupations You will translate roles like médico (doctor), engenheiro (engineer), and professor (teacher), spanning offices, trades, shops, and public services. The largest set even tucks in the handy question O que você faz? (What do you do?), so you walk away able to actually ask about someone's work rather than only name jobs. It is a natural pick whenever you are learning to describe friends, family, or your own line of work, and it covers a lot of common conversational ground. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to sixteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until the titles arrive without hesitation. Did you know? Here is a welcome shortcut. A surprising number of these jobs sound close to their English versions, so words like arquiteto (architect), piloto (pilot), and jornalista (journalist) almost translate themselves once you catch the pattern. That gives most learners a real head start on the list. One thing to keep an eye on, though, is that some titles shift their ending depending on who you are describing. A male teacher is a professor while a female teacher is a professora, so a single English word can map to more than one Portuguese form. Remembering that small change sidesteps a common slip. How to get started Begin with the everyday jobs you hear most, then branch into the more specialized roles. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to start talking about work and careers in Portuguese.

Questions

If you can ask good questions, you can keep almost any conversation going, which makes this one of the most useful sets for a beginner. It focuses on Portuguese question words and phrases, handing you the lines you need to ask who, what, where, and more. Asking Questions in Portuguese You will translate single question words like Quem? (Who?) and Onde? (Where?), along with full, ready-to-use phrases such as Quantos anos você tem? (How old are you?). Several entries are complete sentences you can say straight away, plus a few polite replies, so the set is a little richer than a plain word list. Mixing question words with finished phrases means you leave with real conversation starters, not just vocabulary, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to actually talk with someone. How the quizzes work This is a single, focused quiz with sixteen items, and it takes about five minutes, so you can run through it whenever you like and repeat it until the questions come without pausing. Did you know? Here is a charming difference worth knowing. To ask someone's age, Portuguese does not ask how old they "are." Instead it uses the verb ter (to have), so Quantos anos você tem? literally means "How many years do you have?" Once you spot that, you also understand why the answer uses "have" rather than "be," which trips up a lot of English speakers at first. Questions are also the kind of thing you want to fire off without stopping to think, so saying them out loud a few times matters more here than with most lists. The phrases are short, which makes them easy to drill until they feel automatic. How to get started Jump in and practice the questions aloud, since they are built to be spoken. This free Portuguese quiz is quick and interactive, a friendly way to start asking your way through real conversations.

School

The classroom is full of words you can point at, which makes school vocabulary a great place to build your Portuguese. This set covers the supplies, subjects, and actions of a school day, all the everyday terms you would use in or around a classroom. Portuguese School Vocabulary You will translate concrete objects like livro (book), caderno (notebook), and lápis (pencil), mix in subjects such as história (history), and pick up useful verbs like aprender (to learn) and ensinar (to teach). The sets range from desk supplies to a fuller round that leans into verbs, so you cover both what is in the room and what you actually do there. It is practical vocabulary for students and anyone describing their day, and the objects are easy to picture, which helps the words stick. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to fifteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can fit one into a study break and repeat it until classroom talk feels natural. Did you know? Here is a fun overlap. The Portuguese word borracha means eraser, but it is also the word for rubber, the material itself. So the same word covers both the thing on the end of your pencil and what it is made of, which makes a lot of sense once you connect the two. The verb-heavy set is worth special attention. Once you can say what you do in class, not just what is on the desk, your sentences start to actually go somewhere, so learning aprender (to learn) and ouvir (to listen) opens up far more than the nouns alone. How to get started Begin with the supplies you can see around you, then add the subjects and verbs. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to talk through a whole school day in Portuguese.

Shopping

Heading to the shops is one of the most reliable ways to use a new language, and this set stocks your Portuguese with the words for it. From clothing and accessories to the phrases for asking prices, you will build practical Portuguese shopping vocabulary you can use the moment you walk into a store. Portuguese Shopping and Clothing Vocabulary You will translate wearable items like vestido (dress), sapatos (shoes), and camisa (shirt), pick up fabrics such as seda (silk) and couro (leather), and learn handy phrases including Quanto custa? (How much is it?) and É muito caro! (It's very expensive!). With seven sets, the vocabulary stretches from basic clothes to jewelry and a few everyday extras. Those ready-made phrases are the real prize, since they let you actually ask a price and react to it, turning the list into something you can use in a real shop straight away. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to nineteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until the words come automatically. Did you know? Portuguese builds some words by joining two together, and a great example sits in this vocabulary. An umbrella is a guarda-chuva, which literally combines "guard" and "rain," so the word describes exactly what the object does. Once you notice that habit, longer Portuguese words start to feel less random. The fabric words are also worth drilling first. Knowing terms like algodão (cotton) and seda (silk) comes in handy the moment you start reading labels or comparing two similar items, which is a big part of real shopping. How to get started Begin with the everyday clothing words, then add the phrases so you can handle a full exchange at the till. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to shop with confidence in Portuguese.

Time

Telling time and naming the days are the backbone of making plans, so this set is a practical early win in Portuguese. You will learn to say the hour, run through the days of the week, and add the greetings and questions that come up right alongside them. Telling Time and Days of the Week in Portuguese You will turn prompts like É uma hora. (It's one o'clock.) and São três horas. (It's three o'clock.) into Portuguese, then move to the calendar with words such as sábado (Saturday), meio-dia (noon), and anteontem (the day before yesterday). A couple of sets fold in ready questions like Que horas são? (What time is it?), so you can both ask and answer. This is everyday Portuguese you reach for constantly, whether you are scheduling a meeting, catching a bus, or making plans with a friend. How the quizzes work Each quiz has around ten to twelve items and takes about five minutes, so you can fit one into a break and repeat it until the times and days feel familiar. Did you know? Here is a genuinely surprising fact about the calendar. Most Portuguese weekday names are built from numbers rather than gods or planets the way English ones are. Monday is segunda-feira (literally "second day") and Tuesday is terça-feira ("third day"), counting up through the week. Once you know that, the days suddenly look far more logical and much easier to remember. The clock has its own small twist too. One o'clock takes a singular verb, as in É uma hora, while every other hour uses a plural one, like São duas horas. Getting that switch right makes you sound noticeably more natural. How to get started Begin with the hours, then pair the days with things you do each week so they lock into place. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, a friendly way to master the clock and calendar in Portuguese.
