o2 m sg (feminine singular a, masculine plural os, feminine plural as)

1. (definite) the

• The definite article o (in all its forms), due to historical sandhi, regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions a (“to”), con (“with”), de (“of, from”), and en (“in”). For example, con o (“with the”) contracts to co, and en o (“in the”) contracts to no.
• The definite article o (in all its forms), due to historical sandhi, contracts with preceding words which ends in or into the second form of the article lo (la, los, las); this feature, frequent in spoken Galician, is not always marked in the written language. When done, a hyphen is used to separate both words:

Debes comer o caldo ~ Debes come-lo caldo ― You should eat the soup

See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form.

o2

1. accusative of el

The Galician pronouns, being atones, are usually appended to the verb; though sandhi, o could acquire the form -no (for example, when appended to a verb form ended in a falling diphthong or in a nasal consonant, the nasal in -no having an antihiatic epenthetic origin) or -lo (when appended to a verb form ended in a -s or -r, the l having its origin in the assimilation of the -s or -r with the l present in the pronoun before the 12th century).

For the most part, usage of the definite article in Portuguese is the same as in English. Some differences include:

• it is optionally but commonly used with abstract mass nouns:

  O amor é melhor que a guerra. ― Love is better than war.

• it can be optionally used with adjectival possessive pronouns, and mandatorily with substantival possessive pronouns:

  (O) meu livro é melhor que o seu. ― My book is better than yours.

• it can be used with personal names; often this indicates familiarity with the person (due to personal connection with them or because they are famous); this is avoided in formal contexts:

  (O) João foi até a cidade. ― João went to the city.

  (O) Einstein foi um cientista famoso. ― Einstein was a famous scientist.

• it is sometimes used instead of a possessive pronoun when the possessor is obvious from the context; this is especially prevalent when refering to parts of the body or one’s own relatives:

  O pai está viajando. ― (My) dad is travelling.

  Você falou com a tia? ― Did you talk with my/our aunt?

  Quando você quebrou os braços? ― When did you break your arms?

• it used in a construct that is uncommon in English but common in Portuguese whereby a singular is used as a representative or prototype of all instances of the thing:

  O carvalho é uma árvore grande. ― The oak is a big tree.

  A picape é responsável pela poluição. ― Pick-up trucks are responsible for the pollution.

• it is much more commonly used with placenames; most countries and states take the definite article, as do a minority of cities:

  Eu moro na França. ― I live in France.

  O Rio de Janeiro fica no Brasil. ― Rio de Janeiro is in Brazil.
