    In Portuguese when one speaks about parts of the body and articles of clothing, one generally omits the possessive adjective. For example:

    Tenho o livro na mão. [I have the book in my hand.]
    Usamos os olhos para ler. [We use our eyes to read.]
    Ela lava o cabelo todo dia. [She washes her hair every day.]
    O bebê põe o chapéu na cabeça. [The baby puts his hat on his head.]

    Numerals: Cardinals (continued) – Números cardinais (continuação)

    • 60 sessenta [sixty]
    • 70 setenta [seventy]
    • 80 oitenta [eighty]
    • 90 noventa [ninety]
    • 100 cem [one hundred]
    • 101, etc. cento e um, cento e uma, etc. [one hundred and one, etc.]
    • 200 duzentos, -as [two hundred]
    • 201, etc. duzentos e um, etc. [two hundred and one, etc.]
    • 300 trezentos, -as [three hundred]
    • 400 quatrocentos, -as [four hundred]
    • 500 quinhentos, -as [five hundred]
    • 600 seiscentos, -as [six hundred]
    • 700 setecentos, -as [seven hundred]
    • 800 oitocentos, -as [eight hundred]
    • 900 novecentos, -as [nine hundred]
    • 1000 mil [one thousand]
    • 1001, etc. mil e um, mil e uma, etc. [one thousand and one, etc.]
    • 1999 mil novecentos e noventa e nove [one thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-nine]
    • 2000, etc. dois mil, duas mil, etc. [two thousand]
    • 1.000.000 um milhão [one million]
    • 2.000.000 dois milhões [two million]

    Be sure to learn those numbers that have masculine and feminine forms:

    vinte e um alunos [21 students (masculine)]
    vinte e uma alunas [21 students (feminine)]
    duzentos e dois rapazes [202 boys]
    duzentas e duas pessoas [202 people]
    dois mil duzentos e trinta e dois desenhos [2232 sketches]
    duas mil duzentas e trinta e duas palavras [2232 words]

    (Remember that um and uma mean “one”; uns and umas mean “some”).

    The hundreds are joined to the tens by the word e; and the tens are in turn joined to the units by the word e.

    cento e vinte e um [121]
    trezentos e cinquenta e três [353]

    The hundreds and thousands are also joined to the units by the word e.

    oitocentos e oito [808]
    mil e dois [1002]

    The thousands are not joined to the hundreds by the word e.

    mil novecentos e sessenta e quatro [1964]

    If, however, only zeros follow the hundreds, it is necessary to include the word e between the thousands and hundreds.

    1.200 mil e duzentos [1,200]
    3.100 três mil e cem [3,100]
    26.500 vinte e seis mil e quinhentos [26,500]

    *Notice that in Portuguese, a period is used where in English we use a comma. Similarly, to express decimal points, in Portuguese a comma is used where in English we use a period.

    The student should be aware that in Portuguese the invariable word mil is an adjective whereas milhão is a masculine noun. Therefore, the numbers um/uma, dois/duas and the hundreds from 200 to 900 when used before mil must agree with the noun which follows. When used before milhão/milhões these numbers are masculine.

    dois mil reais [2,000 reais]
    cinquenta e duas mil pessoas [52,000 people]
    duzentos mil soldados [200,000 soldiers]
    novecentas mil casas [900,000 houses]

    BUT

    um milhão de dólares [1,000,000 dollars]
    dois milhões de libras [2,000,000 pounds]
    duzentos milhões de carros [200,000,000 cars]
    novecentos milhões de estrelas [900,000,000 stars]
