Brazilian Portuguese: Loanwords #8

When verbs are borrowed from English (which mostly tends to happen in relation to computing and technology) you’ll often find English verbs that have been slightly tweaked to fit the Portuguese grammar structure.

For example:

Deletar - To delete

Clicar - To click

Emeiar - To email (pronounced ee-may-ah’r)

Forwardar - To forward
