What's the difference between 'bem', 'bom', 'boa' ??

Question

I keep getting these mixed up! how are they different? And what's the difference between 'tudo' and 'toda'? Why do you say toda boa, and tudo bem, but never tudo boa?

Answer 1

Bem: well

Bom: good (for masculine words - we have that in Portuguese!)

Boa: good (for feminine words)

Answer 2

think like that:

TUDO means everything

ex: everything is fine , all right, all is coming , all dies, all lives , all empty , all boring...

TODA is a word reffered to a feminine object

ex: toda mulher ( whole lotta woman), all graceful, all the beach...

TODO is the same above but used with masculine words

ex: todo grande (all big), all ugly , all wrong ( todo errado) always reffering to male or masculine words

got it?

Answer 3

isn't a boa like one of those feathery things? or a boa constrictorr? but other wise i have no idea what ur talking about...
