How do you say are in Portuguese?

"Are" can be translated in Portuguese in a few different ways depending on the context:

1. As a verb:

* "estar" - This is the most common and versatile way to say "are" in Portuguese. It means "to be" and is used for temporary states, locations, and feelings.

* "ser" - This also means "to be" but it's used for permanent characteristics, professions, and origins.

2. As a question:

* "é?" - This is the most common way to ask "are you?" or "is it?"

* "está?" - This is used in the same way as "é?" but it implies a temporary state.

Examples:

* "Você está bem?" (Are you well?)

* "Eles estão na escola." (They are at school.)

* "Ela é médica." (She is a doctor.)

* "Você é brasileiro?" (Are you Brazilian?)

* "É tarde?" (Is it late?)

Remember to conjugate the verbs correctly based on the subject and tense.
