I think one of my favorites aspects of the Portuguese language is the way we use diminutives in verbs fr
I see a cute doggie sleeping. The word for sleeping in Portuguese is dormindo. Will I say dormindo for the dog? No! He is dormindinho, the diminutive of sleeping.
I see a lil bird walking? The world for walking is caminhando. Will I say caminhando? Nope, the birds is caminhandinho the diminutive of caminhando.
I just like the way we can add diminutives to do many things
