big

big

The Portuguese word "big" does not exist; the equivalent in English is "grande," meaning "large" or "big."

Here, 'grande' modifies the noun 'cachorro' (dog) to describe its size and follows the noun.

O cachorro grande correu pelo parque.

The big dog ran through the park.

In this sentence, 'grandes' is used before the noun 'sonhos' (dreams) to denote importance rather than physical size.

Naquela época, ele tinha grandes sonhos.

At that time, he had big dreams.

'Grande' here functions to describe the extent or significance of the noun 'oferta' (offer).

A oferta era grande demais para recusar.

The offer was too big to refuse.
