You might notice a couple of interesting (or puzzling!) points here. The word for "music" becomes feminine in Portuguese! This is because Portuguese has distinctions for every single name or noun, and all of them are either masculine or feminine in gender. Weird, but absolutely true!

Here are some useful words when listening to music at home, in the car or at a concert.

Está muito alta (a música)!
It's too loud!
Ele tem uma voz linda
He has a beautiful voice
Eu gosto muito dessa música
I really like this song
Você gosta dessa música?
