Learn 12 uses of the magic word MESMO in Portuguese in a fun and easy way. Follow our characters Ana and Jos© as they use MESMO in 58 real-life dialogues.

MESMO is one of those little words that present a great challenge to Portuguese language learners. Sometimes it shows up in the feminine version (€œmesma€) and sometimes it doesn€t. At times you need to use the plural (€œmesmos€) and at other times there is no plural form. Additionally, MESMO combines with other words to communicate different meanings. It can often be used with any verb tense; there are times when it requires a specific tense to follow it.
