Prepositional phrase ‘de férias’
‘de’ introduces the noun ‘férias’, indicating the type of activity – a vacation.
Contraction ‘no’

✕Common Mistakes
Vou sair de ferias no mês que vem.
Missing the acute accent on ‘férias’; the accent changes pronunciation and is required in standard Portuguese.
Vou estar de férias no mês que vem.
‘Estar de férias’ means ‘to be on vacation’, not ‘to go on vacation’. Use ‘vou sair de férias’ for the act of leaving for a holiday.
Vou sair de férias chegando no mês que vem.
Do not translate literally as ‘in the month that comes’; the idiomatic expression is exactly ‘no mês que vem’. Avoid adding extra words like ‘chegando’.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘férias’ usually refer to a break from work or school rather than a short weekend trip. Saying ‘sair de férias’ is common and implies a longer, planned getaway. The phrase ‘no mês que vem’ is the most natural way to say ‘next month’, but you’ll also hear ‘no próximo mês’ especially in more formal contexts.
