tel

This is the 8238th most frequent Portuguese word.


tel

"Tel" is not a standalone word in Portuguese; it may be a typo or abbreviation.


In this sentence, 'tel' is used as an abbreviation for 'telefone,' referring to an individual's phone number.

Meu número de tel é (555) 987-6543.

My phone number is (555) 987-6543.


Here, 'tel' again abbreviates 'telefone' and represents the contact number of the pizzeria.

Ela anotou o tel da pizzaria para pedir entrega.

She wrote down the pizzeria's phone number to order delivery.


'Tel' in this example is used humorously fusing between languages, replacing the English word 'tell.'

'Tel me when you finish,' ele disse brincando, misturando inglês e português.

'Tel me when you finish,' he said jokingly, mixing English and Portuguese.
