This is the 181st most frequent Portuguese word.
deu
"Deu" means "gave" in English.
In this sentence, 'deu' is the third-person singular past tense of the verb 'dar,' meaning 'to give'.
Ele deu um presente para ela.
He gave her a gift.
Here, 'deu' is used in an impersonal construction (similar to 'it was possible') indicating the feasibility of an action.
Deu para ouvir a música da festa daqui.
It was possible to hear the music from the party from here.
In this case, 'deu' reflects a result or conclusion of an action, using the verb 'dar' in a figurative sense.
