Usage notes
[edit]The word personagem has three different rules for gender inflection, all correct and widely used:
- Always feminine: a personagem João e a personagem Maria ― the character John and the character Mary
- Always masculine: o personagem João e o personagem Maria ― the character John and the character Mary
- Agreeing with the person: o personagem João e a personagem Maria ― the character John and the character Mary
The choice is up to the speaker or writer. However, it is advised keeping one particular style throughout the text for consistency.
