Your day in Portuguese 🌅

This module is about **daily life**: the times of day, the things you do, and the places you go. Portuguese uses the Latin alphabet, so you can read it already. Remember that every noun has a **gender**, shown by its article (**o** = masculine, **a** = feminine).

Gender and the tilde 🔤

Every Portuguese noun is **masculine** (with **o**) or **feminine** (with **a**): o dia, a noite. The mark **~** (a tilde) over a vowel makes it **nasal**, as in **manhã** (morning) and **mãe** (mother). It is part of the spelling, so never leave it off.
