Common Mistakes

  • Enumerar claramente todos os teus sintomas.

    ‘Enumerar’ is the infinitive; you need the imperative ‘Enumera’ to give a command.

  • todos os teu sintomas

    The possessive adjective must agree with the noun: ‘teus’ (plural) not ‘teu’ (singular).

  • Claramente todos os teus sintomas.

    The verb is missing; the sentence must start with the imperative verb ‘Enumera’.

Alternatives

  • Descreve detalhadamente todos os teus sintomas.

    Describe in detail all your symptoms.

  • Faz uma lista completa dos teus sintomas.

    Make a complete list of your symptoms.

  • Indica claramente cada um dos teus sintomas.

    Indicate clearly each of your symptoms.

Cultural Tip

In Portugal and Brazil, medical consultations often start with open‑ended questions, but when a precise inventory is needed the professional will use the imperative form. Remember that ‘teus’ is informal; in a formal setting (e.g., with an older patient) you should say ‘seus sintomas’. Also, Portuguese speakers tend to appreciate concise, direct instructions in a clinical environment.
