Collocations

É um fenômeno que acontece em todos os idiomas, onde duas ou mais palavras se combinam de forma natural.

Se usarmos a palavra ''cabelo'' em português, teremos as seguintes ''collocations''

• cabelo curto  -  short hair
• cabelo comprido  -  long hair
• cabelo crespo  -  curly hair
• cabelo loiro - blonde hair
  

Se você quer dizer ''cortar o cabelo'', a não ser que você mesmo vá cortar o seu cabelo, diga ''cut the hair''. Mas se for no cabeleireiro para cortar o cabelo, a forma correta é ''have a hair cut''. São duas formas diferentes de dizer a mesma coisa.

Vamos ver outro exemplo de collocations usando o verbo ''to do''

• do the dishes   -  lavar a louça
• do the laundry  -  lavar a roupa
• do the homework  -  fazer a lição de casa
• do nails (my - your)  -  fazer as unhas (minhas - suas)
• do the housework  -  faxinar a casa
• do the shopping  -  fazer as compras

Agora, vamos usar a palavra ''car'' e conhecer mais algumas collocations

• lavar o carro  -  wash the car
• estacionar o carro -  park the car
• carro velho  -  old car
• dirigir um carro  -  drive a car

Curiosidades

• carro zero quilômetro - brand new car
• carro-forte  -  armored car
