This is the 1814th most frequent Portuguese word.
mente
"Mind."
The word 'mente' is used here as a noun meaning 'mind,' referring to someone's mental traits or state.
Ele tem uma mente aberta e está sempre disposto a aprender.
He has an open mind and is always willing to learn.
In this case, 'mente' is a verb derived from 'mentir,' indicating the act of lying or not telling the truth.
Ela mente para proteger seus amigos.
She lies to protect her friends.
Though 'mente' as a word does not appear here, it is implied in the adverbial structure 'Frequentemente,' which means 'Frequently,' stemming from the root meaning related to the mind's actions.
