English load prints both frames on one verb. Cambridge prints load this sand onto the lorry and, in the business entry, The tanker was loaded with four million gallons of diesel oil. Oxford prints Sacks were being loaded onto the truck and Men were loading up a truck with timber. German splits those frames across two verbs. laden takes the freight as an accusative and the goal in auf or in plus accusative. beladen takes the vehicle as an accusative and the freight in mit plus dative. French keeps both frames on charger, and the freight beside the place is de. Spanish keeps both frames on cargar, and the freight beside the place is de or con, as the source prints it. Italian keeps both frames on caricare, and the freight beside the place is di in the printed lines. Russian keeps both frames on грузить, and the freight beside the place is a bare instrumental. Japanese prints one particle frame, Theme を and vehicle に.

What the Portuguese articles print. One verb keeps both object choices. The finite goal of a freight object is WordReference Eles carregaram os produtos no caminhão de entrega, under English load sth onto sth / load sth into sth. no is em plus the article. Priberam’s transitive sense 1 is Pôr ou dispor carga em ou sobre, and the example is carregar o camião. The truck is the object. The freight is left out. em and sobre are words of that definition. Infopédia’s transitive gloss is meter carga em; pôr carga sobre, with no finite freight object. Aulete’s modern sense 1 is Pôr carga em, example carregar um navio. Michaelis, nautical, is Depositar a carga em embarcações, example Carregaram o navio bem cedo e zarparam. Wikcionário glosses the transitive as meter carga em ou sobre and prints no finite freight line.

The best English gloss of the truck-object line that names the freight is load a truck with goods. Cambridge’s Portuguese–English block, label (veículo), defines colocar a carga em, glosses it to load, and prints carregar um caminhão com mercadorias, glossed to load a truck with goods. The truck is the object. The goods are com. WordReference prints the same preposition on a wheelbarrow: Nós carregamos o carrinho de mão com tijolos and Carregamos o carinho com tijolos. de beside a vehicle is unprinted on carregar. de is printed beside a person, beside fruit, and on descarregar of an aircraft. French prints de and does not print avec. Spanish prints finite de in one article and finite con in another. Italian prints di in the lines, and Sabatini Coletti names con in the gloss. German prints mit on a second verb. Russian prints a bare instrumental. English with meets the printed Portuguese com.

Passengers are printed, as the object of a vehicle subject. Priberam’s sense 2, Levar uma carga, prints o avião carregava 148 passageiros beside a gata carregou as crias uma a uma. Aulete’s modern sense 2 prints Este avião carrega 300 passageiros. Neither line prints em or no of the aircraft. A passenger as the direct object, with the vehicle in em or no, is unprinted. A passenger named cliente is unprinted in the dictionary blocks opened here. Italian i passeggeri sull’autobus and French un client have no cousin in these blocks.

Places · who wears which marking

Read the direct object of the no line as the freight, and no as the place it goes. Read the direct object of the other frame as the truck, the ship, or the wheelbarrow, and read com as the freight on the line that prints it. A passenger in these articles is the object of an airplane subject. de beside a person, a tree, or an orchard is a different line. It is not the freight of a vehicle.

Other senses · kept off the cargo frame

Weapon, battery, camera, computer, fee. Priberam prints carregar a arma, carregar a bateria, and não deverá nunca tentar carregar pilhas que não são recarregáveis. Michaelis prints Carregaram o fuzil com grosso calibre. That com is the calibre of a rifle. It is not the freight beside a truck. The same article prints carregar-lhe a bateria and a máquina está carregando os arquivos. Cambridge prints carregar a espingarda. Aulete prints carregar um revólver and carregar a bateria do celular. Priberam’s computing sense 20 is já carreguei os ficheiros para o servidor. Sense 26 is carregar a aplicação and o jogo ainda não carregou. Sense 19 is carregar a conta. Michaelis prints carregar o preço da gasolina. Those lines stay off the truck.

Attack, button, and direction. Priberam sense 14 prints carregar sem motivo sobre os manifestantes. Infopédia prints A polícia carregou sobre os manifestantes. Michaelis prints Os militares carregaram sobre os manifestantes and A polícia carregou os bandidos que fugiam. The crowd is sobre. That sobre is not a vehicle. Priberam sense 13, labeled [Portugal], prints carregue no manípulo and carreguei no botão. Wikcionário prints carrega no botão da janela and Digite o código e carregue Enter. Aulete sense 20, labeled Lus., prints Carregue o botão do elevador, with the button as the object. The regional label is this press sense. No source prints an European/Brazilian split on the cargo frame. camião beside caminhão, and carregamos beside carregámos, are spelling.

Body, blame, and a burden that is not a vehicle. WordReference prints Eu carrego meu filho nos ombros, under English ride. nos is em plus the article, and the noun is the shoulders. Priberam sense 15 prints não vou carregar a culpa a outrem. Sense 16 prints carregar o peso da idade. The person-object lines with de trabalho and de impostos are burden. They are not the truck frame. Aulete’s O temporal carregou com a lavoura de tomate is tr. + com of destruction. That com is not freight beside a vehicle.

A taxi client as its own object. The dictionary blocks opened here print passengers as passageiros, the object of an airplane. A block that prints um cliente, the way the French page prints un client, was not among them. Forum thread titles on WordReference are not filed. The labeled translation blocks and the dictionary senses are the ones used.

Examples

Argument difference. English load hay onto the truck and load the truck with hay are one verb, and the second freight is with. German prints the first frame on laden and the second on beladen. French prints both on charger, and the freight beside the place is de. Spanish prints both on cargar, and the freight beside the place is de or con, as the source prints it. Italian prints both on caricare, and the freight beside the place is di in the lines. Russian prints both on грузить, and the freight beside the place is a bare instrumental. Japanese prints Theme を and vehicle に. Portuguese prints both object choices on carregar. The goal of the freight, where a finite line prints it, is no. The freight beside the place, where a bilingual line prints it, is com. de beside a vehicle is unprinted on this verb. The hay sentences are constructed. The dictionary cousins are the lines with the real tags.

Derivations · working sketches, revisable

Each sketch is a working drawing. The subject is the loader, except where the vehicle is the subject of the printed line. On one frame the direct object is the freight and no is the goal. On the other the direct object is the place and com is the freight. Open one sketch at a time. Which theta role is the object is the revisable note Causative templates and argument selection. That note, following Dowty, chooses the object by Proto-Patient properties, and the property it uses is incremental theme. The moving freight is the closer match to that property. Whether the filled place is that property is open. This page does not edit that note, and it does not draw an outer Japanese -sase- wrap.

no is the goal in this line. Priberam and Infopédia also use em and sobre in the definition, and their examples make the vehicle the object. para of a vehicle, sobre of a vehicle as a goal of freight, and a of a vehicle are unprinted. para o servidor has this shape of para and a file. That line stays off the cargo frame.

Open items

  • A finite de of the freight beside a vehicle of carregar. Unprinted. de is Priberam de trabalho, de fruta, and de nêsperas, Aulete de impostos and de uvas, Michaelis de impostos and de flores, and WordReference de frutos on trees. Aulete prints de todos os supérfluos on descarregar of an aircraft. Carregar o caminhão de feno is constructed.
  • para, sobre, and a of a vehicle as the goal of the freight. Unprinted. Carregar o feno para o caminhão, sobre o caminhão, and ao caminhão are constructed. The printed para is Priberam’s server and the open sea, and WordReference’s camp. The printed sobre of a finite line is the crowd. The printed a of a person is a outrem. Priberam’s em ou sobre and Infopédia’s meter carga em; pôr carga sobre are definitions. The Priberam example is carregar o camião.
  • Whether com beside the truck is the ordinary load or the fill reading. Open, by source. Cambridge files um caminhão com mercadorias under (veículo), defines it colocar a carga em, and glosses it to load and to load a truck with goods. WordReference files o carrinho de mão com tijolos under load sth (fill), and the English sentence of that block is a truck with no with. The same site files o carinho com tijolos under load sth with sth (fill with sth) and prints carinho. The burden block glosses carregar and the example is Eles puseram ainda mais carga no caminhão, which does not use carregar.
  • A passenger as the direct object, with em or no of the vehicle. Unprinted. Printed passengers are the object of an airplane subject. A passenger named cliente is unprinted. Italian sull’autobus and French un client have no cousin in the blocks opened here. Forum thread titles on WordReference are not filed.
  • A participle that makes the freight the subject and keeps no. Unprinted. O navio está sendo carregado no pier makes the ship the subject and leaves the freight out. no pier is the dock. A participle that makes the vehicle the subject and keeps de is unprinted. The participle that keeps com is the WordReference block whose English headword is charge. Michaelis carregado prints definitions only.
  • recarregar with a cargo frame. Unprinted. Priberam prints batteries. Aulete prints a gun, a pen, a lighter, and A árvore recarregou-se de frutos. Michaelis prints energies and a phone.
  • A source beside a freight object of descarregar. The articles opened here print the vehicle as the object, the freight as the object with no source, or de on an aircraft, a shelf, or a tree. descarregar o feno do camião is unprinted in those articles. Older Aulete prints Descarregar sacas de trigo with no source.
  • The older Aulete shape with the bags as subject. As bagagens carregavam demasiadamente o carro prints no preposition. The modern Aulete block does not print it. Whether that shape is a third frame of the living verb is open.
  • An European/Brazilian difference on the cargo frame. No source states one. camião and caminhão are spelling. Wikcionário’s carregamos / carregámos is the preterite, and the note is spelling. The button lines differ, and they are off the cargo frame: Priberam [Portugal] prints no botão, and Aulete Lus. prints the button as the object.
  • Whether the filled place is an incremental theme. Open. The causative note uses incremental theme as the Proto-Patient property that picks the object. The moving freight is the closer match. The filled place is the object of the other frame. The note is not edited from this page.
  • -sase-. An outer wrap on the Japanese verb would not be a second lexical head. It is not drawn on this page.
  • Unopened books. Houaiss online was not opened. Nothing is quoted from it. Collins Portuguese–English returned no article. Aurélio, Luft, and 501 Portuguese Verbs were not opened.
