Pourquoi elle est construite ainsi
Les notes correspondent aux numéros ci-dessus.
- 1pedir desculpas = "apologise"; pedir → peço in the 1sg. More irregular & stem-changing presents →
- 2por + o = pelo: the reason for the apology. por vs para (first pass) →
- 3o transtorno = "inconvenience, trouble" here, not a medical disorder.
- 4The participle agrees with transtorno: it apologises for the effect without naming a fault.
