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 + o ? pro, po
- para + os ? pros, pos
- para + a ? pra, pa
- para + as ? pras, pas
Para + indefinite article contractions are also nonstandard, but are not as common:
- para + um ? prum
- para + uns ? pruns
- para + uma ? pruma
- para + umas ? prumas
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:
instead of the standard
Such usage is strongly proscribed.
Synonyms
- (towards): a, até
- (about to): prestes a, por
