Contractions
Para + definite article contractions are nonstandard and thus not used in serious writing, but are very widespread in speech and informal writing. Those without r are even more nonstandard:
Para + indefinite article contractions are also nonstandard, but are not as common:
There are some para + personal pronoun contractions, which are also nonstandard and uncommon in writing:
- para + eu → preu
- para + você → procê
- para + ele → prele
- para + eles → preles
- para + ela → prela
- para + elas → prelas
Usage notes
Some senses of para, such as 'in order to', introduce a subordinate clause. When this clause begins with a personal pronoun, some speakers use a prepositional pronoun instead of a nominative one:
- Comprei um bolo para mim comer.
- I bought a cake for me to eat.
instead of the correct
- Comprei um bolo para eu comer.
- I bought a cake for me to eat.
Such usage is strongly proscribed.
