Cultural Note
From three onward, Portuguese numbers are gender-invariable until two hundred (duzentos/duzentas). The accent on 'três' distinguishes it from the preposition 'trés' and is always written. In Brazilian Portuguese, common expressions include 'três por quatro' meaning 'constantly' or 'all the time.'
