✦Grammar Breakdown
Meuquartoéo402.
Possessive adjective (Meu)
‘Meu’ agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies; here it is masculine singular to match ‘quarto’.
Noun (quarto)
‘Quarto’ means ‘room’; it is masculine, so it takes the masculine article ‘o’ later in the sentence.
Verb ser (é)
‘É’ is the third‑person singular present of ‘ser’, used for identity or definition – here identifying the room number.
Definite article (o)
The article ‘o’ precedes the numeral when the number functions as a noun phrase (the 402).
Cardinal number (402)
In Brazilian Portuguese room numbers are usually spoken digit‑by‑digit: ‘quatro zero dois’.
🗨In Conversation
Qual é o seu quarto?
What is your room?
Meu quarto é o 402.
My room is 402.
✕Common Mistakes
Meu quarto tem o 402.
‘Tem’ (has) is a verb of possession; you need the verb of identity ‘é’ (is).
Meu quarto no 402.
‘No’ contracts ‘em + o’ and means ‘in the’; it does not convey the idea of ‘is the number’. Use ‘é o’ instead.
Meu quarto é o quatrocentos e dois.
While grammatically correct, native speakers usually say the digits separately for room numbers.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, room numbers are almost always spoken digit‑by‑digit (‘quatro zero dois’) rather than as a whole number (‘quatrocentos e dois’). In more formal contexts, such as official paperwork, you may hear the full number, but in everyday conversation the digit‑by‑digit form is preferred. Also, keep the tone polite; adding ‘por favor’ when asking for a room number shows courtesy.
