Common Mistakes

  • Você gosta os dias ensolarados?

    The verb ‘gostar’ always needs the preposition ‘de’; omit ‘de’ and the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

  • Você gosta de dias ensolarado?

    The adjective must agree in number with the noun ‘dias’; using the singular form is incorrect.

  • Você gosta de dia ensolarado?

    When referring to multiple days, the noun must be plural; otherwise the meaning changes.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, talking about the weather is a common ice‑breaker, especially because the climate varies dramatically from region to region. ‘Gostar de’ is perfectly neutral, but in informal settings many speakers swap it for ‘curtir’ or ‘adorar’. Remember that in the south, a sunny day might be a rare treat, while in the northeast it can be the norm, so the reaction can hint at the speaker’s regional background.
