Good to know

Vocabulary for repairs and tools in Portuguese distinguishes tools from the parts used with them. Berbequim is the drill itself; Broca is the bit fitted to it. Parafuso has a thread and is tightened by turning, whereas Prego is typically driven in with a hammer. Bucha can mean a wall plug that holds a screw in a drilled hole.

In this context, Porca means a nut that screws onto a threaded bolt or rod. Tomada is an electrical socket; Interruptor is a switch that opens or closes an electrical circuit.

Rules to remember

  • Martelo and Berbequim are masculine nouns; Broca and Bucha are feminine. Their gender determines the article used with them.
  • Chave de fendas and Caixa de ferramentas use de to link a main noun to a noun describing its function or contents.
  • Furar a parede and Reparar a porta start with an infinitive, which names an action without specifying who performs it.
