name: translate-por-chirho description: Portuguese (Português) Bible translation skill. Use when translating into Portuguese. Includes Brazilian/European conventions and Portuguese grammar handling.

Portuguese (Português) Translation Skill

Script: Latin

Standard Latin alphabet with Portuguese diacritics (á, â, ã, à, é, ê, í, ó, ô, õ, ú, ç).

Divine Names

Proper Names (Greek → Portuguese)

Particle Conventions

Use n-dash (–) for bound elements:

• Articles: "o–céu", "a–terra"
• Prepositions: "no–princípio", "sobre–face"

Portuguese contractions (no, na, do, da, ao, à) can be preserved.

Grammar Notes

1. Word Order: SVO with flexibility

   • Similar to Spanish
   • Clitic pronouns can move

2. Gender/Number: Portuguese has m/f and singular/plural

   • Deus (m.), o Senhor (m.)
   • Agreement for adjectives and articles

3. Personal Infinitive: Unique to Portuguese

   • Allow infinitive to agree with subject

4. Formal Register: Use literary Portuguese

   • Maintain reverence for sacred text
