Beginner Adjective

Pronunciation
/ɐ.paj.ʃu.ˈna.du/
💡
Cultural Note
Used with 'estar' (to be, temporarily) rather than 'ser' (to be, permanently), since being in love is seen as a state rather than an inherent trait. 'Estar apaixonado/a por' is the standard construction in both PT and BR.
📝 Example Sentences
Estou completamente apaixonado por ti.
I am completely in love with you.
Ela está apaixonada pelo colega de trabalho.
She is in love with her coworker.
