✦Grammar Breakdown
Teusdadosdocartãoestãoseguros
Teus (possessive adjective)
Informal second‑person plural possessive adjective used before masculine plural nouns; equivalent to ‘your’ in English.
do = de + o
The preposition ‘de’ (of) contracts with the masculine singular article ‘o’ to form ‘do’, meaning ‘of the’.
Estar (estão)
The verb ‘estar’ expresses a temporary state; ‘estão’ is the third‑person plural present form, agreeing with the plural subject ‘dados’.
Adjective agreement
‘Seguros’ must agree in gender and number with ‘dados’ (masculine plural), so the adjective also appears in the masculine plural form.
🗨In Conversation

Não te preocupes, teus dados do cartão estão seguros.

✕Common Mistakes
Seus dados do cartão estão seguros.
‘Seus’ is the formal/plural possessive; using it with ‘teus’ changes the register. Choose one based on the relationship with the listener.
Teu dado do cartão está seguro.
The verb must agree with the plural subject ‘dados’; ‘está’ is singular.
Teus dados do cartão está seguro.
Adjective must match the plural noun; ‘seguro’ is singular.

Os dados do teu cartão estão seguros.

Cultural Tip
In Portugal, ‘teus’ is the informal plural form and is common among friends or family. In Brazil, speakers usually prefer ‘seus’ even in informal contexts, so you’ll hear ‘Seus dados do cartão…’ more often there. Also, data‑security reassurance is a frequent topic in Portuguese‑speaking media, so the phrase sounds very natural in customer‑service or tech‑support settings.
