Quero pedir recomendações de livros didáticos direcionados à aprendizagem da fonética e fonologia do português.

As we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one, we have a tradition of sharing moderation stats for the preceding calendar year. As most of you here are aware, sites on the Stack Exchange network are moderated somewhat differently to other sites on the web: We designed the Stack Exch...

Great news After many years as a beta site, Portuguese SE will soon graduate into a full-fledged site! The main aspect of this change is symbolic: it's a recognition of Portuguese Language's maturity and value for the SE network. Congratulations and thank you to everyone who has contributed! In ...

Procuro um site que faça ou tenha a separação silábica com sílaba tónica das palavras em português.

Acho que o pt.se acabou de mudar de cores azuis para laranjas. É só impressão minha ou há alguma razão para esta mudança?

Summary: Portuguese Language Stack Exchange will begin the nomination stage for a special election on June 28 to bring in one more moderator. Despite the lack of interaction on the interest check post, I checked with the current moderation team and we decided to go ahead with an election anyway. ...

English It's time for us to consider holding an election for moderators for Portuguese.SE. We haven't had one of these before here: all moderators have been appointed by Stack Exchange. Right now we have only two moderators. Instead of appointing a new moderator, we would like to hold a community...

In the context of tags I see no difference - or is there a relevant distinction I'm missing?

Eu costumo ter dúvidas do tipo, "existe uma palavra portuguesa que parece como <assim> e com significado parecido a <assim>?". Seríam bem-vindos neste site perguntas deste tipo? Acho que se encaixaria perfeitamente se fosse uma palavra (mal-) ouvido num contexto português. Mas, no meu caso, esta...

English For non-native speakers/learners of portuguese: What do you think is the greatest difficulty you find when studying/reading/writing/speaking? Is it the difference between ser and estar, inflection of adjectives, pronunciation of nasal diphthongs like ão and õe? What do you find more diff...

Two years ago (2018) I've asked whether resources questions belong to the Meta or to the main site and advocated that they belong to the main site (for instance, they are not technical questions, or about Portuguese SE itself) in this post, which got 5 upvotes and zero downvotes (as it stands). ...

I'm looking for an online European Portuguese dictionary with pronunciation sound. Is there one?

For many months now, for me at least, the Review Queue list has been showing the "Low Quality Posts" as very busy (with the red dot), but when I visit the queue, the list is empty. Is it full of posts of mine; is this a bug; or what's going on?

I noticed in Spanish SE, there’s a challenge called Translation Golf, which aims to engage SE users to actively contribute Spanish translations of a given English text. I thought it would be a good method to stimulate greater interaction and discussion, given the current level of activity in Port...

Reparei que neste site uma pergunta recorrente é "qual é a origem desta expressão". Alguém sabe/recomenda algum livro (ou outro tipo de suporte) que contenha as origens históricas de diferentes expressões da língua portuguesa?

It's New Year's Day in Stack Exchange land... A distinguishing characteristic of these sites is how they are moderated: We designed the Stack Exchange network engine to be mostly self-regulating, in that we amortize the overall moderation cost of the system across thousands of teeny-tiny sli...

Eu gostava de levantar a questão se a comunidade acha útil e pertinente incluir uma tag morfema no stackexchange em Português? Pergunto isto por várias razões: Sempre gostei de tentar pensar em termos de morfemas - ou análise morfémica, se preferirem. Acho que todos os falantes do Português,...

Enquanto aguardava resposta a uma questão que partilhei, recebi uma notificação de uma proposta de edição, que era somente a remoção de um tag (como vemos na imagem abaixo). Uma vez procurando por mais informações acerca do tag origem-histórica, temos que o tag não tem qualquer indicação: C...

A question asked today, "Camundongo vs rato!", can easily be answered by merely checking the two words in a dictionary -- writing the question probably took longer than finding the answer (though not writing it). At the same time, it is the kind of question people are likely to google for, and t...

Having been applied to a total of six questions so far, the tag alfabeto seems unnecessary to me. I suggest it's deleted.

Jacinto had provided a quite nontrivial answer to this question: quotation from Os Lusiadas but now it's "deleted by owner". What happened? I almost flagged the answer asking for it to be reinstated, but thought better ask first, after all, there has to have been a reason for his decision.

Following the Russian Resources question, the aim of this post is to gather and list resources for learning Portuguese. I think it is desirable to distinguish between european and brazilian portuguese. It is not, by any means, some sort of segregation. However, since different people have differ...

I bumped into this page, that says we’ve been having 5 visitors a day! Area 51 page says 4! This has to be a glitch, right?

ENGLISH: In stackoverflow it is simple. If something solved your problem, you can post it and check it as the accepted answer. However, in Portuguese — being it a Humanity, a language — there may always be one little misinformation, or something essential that could be added. When “I share my ...

Let's migrate resources questions to the main site? It's been two years since this question has been asked. It has already received 11 up-votes and the highest-up-voted answer suggests reference questions should be: On the main site I also strongly believe that questions such as Resourc...

Vocês acham que seria interessante ter uma lista de palavras homônimas no fórum? Eu conheço algumas que não encontram-se por aí em nas listas de palavras homônimas que pesquisei... Talvez fosse interessante ter uma lista disponível para que as pessoas acrescentem mais palavras no decorrer do temp...

Based on feedback I've received from native Portuguese speakers, it seems that most of the online or other language learning resources I've found teach Brazilian Portuguese. However, despite living closer to Brazil myself, my intent for learning is so that I can properly interact with people who ...

Lá fora, eu vejo que o dicionário mantido pela Oxford é bem consagrado. Aqui no Brasil, eu acabo tendo essa dúvida. Até onde eu sei, nenhuma universidade tem um projeto do tipo. Isso atrapalha um pouco, visto que gosto de contribuir na Wikipédia sobre a definição de palavras.

So, I proposed this site about Portugal (everything but language), and here there is a big audience of Portuguese users. Is there any way I can get this promoted here, since I'm sure a lot of people here are interested. https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/110278/portugal

The Portuguese Language should be in Portuguese?

I'm using nativlang.com at the moment (example of a rule there: http://www.nativlang.com/po/qg_verbs_futuresubjunctive.htm), but it seems to be rules there are too simplified and lack a lot of details. What is a better resource online to study Brazilian portuguese grammar rules?

I see some questions in english and others in portuguese and I'm always in doubt. The questions should be asked in portuguese, english or whatever? Vejo algumas perguntas em inglês outras em português e sempre fico na duvida. As perguntas devem ser feitas em português, inglês ou tanto faz?

Are questions about Mirandês on-topic in our site? Mirandês is a language spoken in North-Western Portugal. It is the second official language of the Portuguese Republic. One example question, could be: Em mirandês, o que significa ganar, na frase "l lhobo ne l ganau"? Na música Coqu...

A pergunta "What is the translation for “over-ordering”?" nao parece ter sido muito bem recebida pela comunidade. O texto atual da pergunta é o seguinte: I know that in the sentence: The reduction of “over-ordering” was great for our results! "over-ordering" can be translated as "Enco...

Como lidar com as variações nacionais da língua portuguesa quando fazemos uma pergunta ? Alguma pessoas indicam claramente quando se referem ao Português de Portugal ou Brasileiro (ou de outro país). Em alguns casos, é possível inferir que provavelmente a pessoa é do Brasil ou de Portugal. Se...

I’m quite fond of history of phrases, words, and even spelling, and after a year and so here I’ve located quite a few useful resources for research on these subjects (no quite sure we can call all this ‘etymology’, but I need a short title), which I’m quite happy to share. Now there is this dis...

Achei interessante a pergunta How to distinguish Brazilian Portuguese from European Portuguese porque ela nem é sobre programação nem é sobre língua portuguesa, ou antes é sobre as duas. Á primeira vista, deveria ser considerada inválida mas eu não acho que esta seja a melhor abordagem porque el...

Coloco esta perguntar depois de ler: Palavra portuguesa para ''Quantile'' (Eng.) Como digo “zoom” em português? Qual a diferença entre curtir e perar? Uma premissa básica é que um signo é a relação entre um significante e um significado. É isto que dá a riqueza da língua, uma vez que as mesma...

Meu questionamento tem a ver com essa pergunta e pela reação de alguns colegas ao meu "closevote". Talvez para os colegas de além-mar a pergunta nada tenha de extraordinário uma vez que as palavras "uai" e "why" sejam ambas interjeições e tenham pronuncia semelhante. Mas, do lado de cá do Atlânt...

Estou a tentar editar esta pergunta, que tem um erro gramatical no exemplo dado. Com "você", conjuga-se na 3ª pessoa, penso eu.
