Cultural Note
Portuguese is one of the few Romance languages where 'two' has a gender distinction: 'dois' (masculine) and 'duas' (feminine). You say 'dois livros' (two books) but 'duas casas' (two houses). This gender agreement applies even in larger numbers: 'duzentas pessoas' (two hundred people, feminine).
