Stretch in portuguese?

Question

for example

stretch this elastic band.....

Answer 1

Hi. The word stretch literally translated into portuguese is "esticar", so to stretch is "esticar", therefore the sentense "stretch this elastic band" means estique(present singular) or esticar (the act of stretching) este (this) elastico (elastic band).

I hope I've answered your question.

Answer 2

But if you use 'stretch' in another sentence, as in "I need to stretch my muscles" it turns into 'alongamento' as in "Eu preciso fazer um alongamento".

Not to be confused with the use of "stretch my legs" as in "going for a walk".

Answer 3

Esticar

as in

"Estica este elástico"
