<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go to the shop or supermarket in Brazil <\/a>and you’re purchasing a number of items, you might ask: what’s the total cost of these items? There are many other situations where you might need to ask for the total cost. So how exactly do you say this in Portuguese? Let’s take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the total = Qual \u00e9 o total?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s more common for Brazilians to use “quanto” which means “how much” instead of “qual” which approximates “what.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much is the total = Quanto \u00e9 o total?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even more common than these two is an idiomatic expression: quanto deu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quanto deu = how much it gave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not exactly banging up with a literal English translation, but the expression “quanto” means “how much” and “deu” is derived from the verb “to give.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present Tense<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I give: eu dou<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you give: voc\u00ea d\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

he gives: ele d\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

she gives: ela d\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it gives: d\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

they give: eles d\u00e3o<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past Tense<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I gave: Eu dei<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

you gave: voc\u00ea deu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

he gave: ele deu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

she gave: ela deu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it gave: deu<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they gave: eles deram<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quanto = how much<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deu = it gave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sort of like, how much did adding it up give? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, it’s not a literal translation, but it’s a common way of saying “what’s the total” in Brazil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
