This is the 3992nd most frequent Portuguese word.
leo
"Leão" in Portuguese means "lion" in English.
Here, 'leão' directly refers to the animal, the lion, in a biological and metaphorical context.
O leão é conhecido como o rei da selva.
The lion is known as the king of the jungle.
In this sentence, 'leo' is a misspelling of the verb 'leio,' the first-person singular present tense of 'ler' in Portuguese. The correct sentence would be 'Eu leio um bom livro todas as noites antes de dormir.'
Pedro leo um bom livro todas as noites antes de dormir.
Pedro reads a good book every night before going to sleep.
Here, 'Leão' refers to 'Leo,' a zodiac and astronomical constellation.
