Voice[Seller] + Appl_HAVE(Buyer, Theme_goods) + por-selected MeasureP_Price

Buyer = a + NP · clitic lhe (lho = lhe + o) · Aulete’s label also para · Goods = direct object · Price = por + amount

A sale, on this reading, has a Seller, the Goods, a Buyer, and a Price. They are not four equal sisters of vender. Voice adds the Seller. The root’s complement is the Goods, a direct object. Portuguese nouns have no case ending, so that object is not a morphological accusative. Ciberdúvidas 22826 calls it a complemento directo, the thing sold, and the Buyer a complemento indirecto, the person to whom it is sold. A low Appl_HAVE is the working home of that Buyer, the same added argument the English page gives the Recipient of sell. The drawing is revisable. The dictionaries print the preposition and the clitic. They do not print the head.

What is different from English sell. Cambridge prints [ + two objects ] on I sold him my car / I sold my car to him for $600, and the business entry prints sell sb sth in We are going to sell him our car. The buyer can be a bare object, him, with no preposition. The same entry’s other limb puts that buyer in to, and the price in for. Portuguese does not print a bare full noun, or a bare object pronoun in that first-object slot, as the Buyer. The full Buyer is an a-phrase. Ciberdúvidas 22826: Ele vendeu tudo ao Estado. Ciberdúvidas 7005 replaces ao Sr. Costa with lhe, and the flat with o, fused as lho: Se lho venderes. Aulete, a Brazilian dictionary, labels the commercial frame tdi. + a, para and fills the nephew with para: Vendeu o sítio para o sobrinho. Michaelis, also Brazilian, fills a in vendiam café a homens and a uma revista de fofoca. The Price that those lines leave out is a different marker. Aulete: Está vendendo o apartamento por duzentos mil reais. Ciberdúvidas 22826: Ele vendeu tudo por tuta e meia. English for is that Price. Portuguese spells it por.

a of the Buyer is not the article of the Goods, and not the Price. Priberam’s example ainda não vendeu a casa has no Buyer. The a of a casa is the feminine article. Aulete’s label on Vendeu a casa names a, para, and the example fills neither preposition. The nephew line is the one that fills para. The older Aulete block prints a rate on a se clause, a sessenta e sete reais o alqueire. That a is a unit price. It is not the Buyer.

Places · who wears which marking

No printed commercial line stacks a named Seller, a Buyer, the Goods, and por plus a sum. Ciberdúvidas prints ao Estado and no price, and por tuta e meia and no Buyer. Aulete prints para o sobrinho and no sum, and por duzentos mil reais and no Buyer. The four-place string below is constructed from those pieces.

Marking map. One letter can belong to several heads. Read the line, then the marker.

Direct object of the Goods. Priberam sense 1 is Ceder, mediante preço convencionado, with ainda não vendeu a casa. Sense 2 is the trade, vender enciclopédias and ele vende casas. Infopédia’s first sense is ceder a posse de (um bem) ou prestar (um serviço) mediante pagamento. Aulete sense 1 is Dispor de (algo) em troca de pagamento. Michaelis’s possession sense is Transferir algo para a posse de alguém em troca de determinada quantia em dinheiro, and the filled goods include o melhor de dois prédios and café. The direct object is the thing sold. It is not the Price and not the Buyer.
a of the Buyer. Ciberdúvidas 22826: the indirect object is a pessoa a quem se vende, and the example is ao Estado. Ciberdúvidas 7005 starts from ao Sr. Costa. The question on Ciberdúvidas 38277, whose answer is about comprar, includes Vendi esse carro a João. That sentence is the question, not the answer. Michaelis prints a homens and a uma revista de fofoca. Aulete’s commercial label names a next to para. The example that fills a person in sense 1 uses para.
lhe replaces that a-phrase. Ciberdúvidas 7005: o andar becomes o, and ao Sr. Costa becomes lhe, and the two clitics contract to lho. The Buyer clitic is lhe. The Goods clitic is o. Priberam’s page for the form venderam-lhe parses the verb. It does not gloss lhe as the Buyer, so the gloss used here is the Ciberdúvidas replacement, not that form page. A clause that doubles lhe with a full a-phrase is unprinted. It is not constructed as a grammatical claim.
para of the Buyer, in the dictionary that prints the label. Aulete’s bracket is [tdi. + a, para : Vendeu o sítio para o sobrinho.] The nephew is the person who receives the farm. The same label shape on the rights sense is para a/à gravadora. Ciberdúvidas 22826 does not mention para. Michaelis fills a on the coffee and the photograph. para saldar as dívidas do defunto is why the building was sold. It is not the Buyer. This page does not rank a and para beyond those prints. Aulete is the Brazilian dictionary that puts both in one label and fills para.
por of the Price. Aulete sense 2: por duzentos mil reais. duzentos mil is the amount. reais is the unit inside the same phrase. It is not a fifth argument of the verb. Ciberdúvidas 22826 calls por optional and the value of the transfer, and the example is por tuta e meia, a price name with no numeral. Wikcionário glosses vender por garapa as selling for a low price. Infopédia’s por dinheiro is inside the definition and fills no sum. English for $600 and for £50 are the same oblique role, a different marker. The Price is not a bare object. Cambridge does not print the price as a second object of sell.
A rate in a, on the older wheat line. Aulete’s older v. tr. block prints O trigo vendia-se nos anos regulares em Lisboa a sessenta e sete reais o alqueire (R. da Silva). The goods are the subject of vendia-se. a sessenta e sete reais o alqueire is a unit rate. It is not the Buyer a of ao Estado, and it is not the transaction sum under por. The preceding citation, vender muitas herdades e casais ou a hipotecar os bens por baixo preço, puts por baixo preço where it can belong to the mortgage. This page does not assign that phrase to vender.

Related verbs · vender-se, revender, comprar

vender-se when the Goods are the subject. Ciberdúvidas 10657 prints Vende-se esta casa in the group that answer treats as an indeterminate subject: someone sells this house, and the Seller is not named. The same answer prints Vendem-se estas casas as the passive with se, equivalent to Estas casas são vendidas, and the subject is estas casas. It notes that many people prefer vende-se casas, and it rejects that non-agreeing singular. Ciberdúvidas 652 prints the same split on Aqui vende-se parafusos and Aqui vendem-se parafusos, and calls the agreeing plural the passive. Aulete’s wheat line is O trigo vendia-se, with the goods as subject and the rate in a. The advertisement shape vende-se casa is that se. The string with no article is constructed on Vende-se esta casa. It is not a separate dictionary line. The English page’s buyer-passive, Wasn’t Chris sold a lawnmower, promotes the Buyer. No Portuguese line opened here promotes the Buyer. The se lines put the Goods in the subject, or leave the Seller unnamed.

Intransitive success, with no se. Priberam’s label on sense 6 is intransitive and pronominal, and the examples print no se: estes livros vendem bem, o filme não vendeu. Aulete sense 6 is [int. : Chocolate vende bem.] Cambridge’s matching limb is These baskets sell well and How much does the phone sell for? The Goods are the subject of an active verb. There is no Buyer in those clauses.

The other vender-se, a person. Ciberdúvidas 22826: Vendeu-se aos poderosos, glossed as giving up one’s freedom or taking a bribe, and Vendeu-se por alto preço, the same reading, with por of that reward. Aulete: Esse político vende-se por pouco and Vendia-se aos comerciantes. Michaelis: Ela só se vende a grandes empresários. The subject is the person, not the house. Those lines stay off the commercial four-place frame. vender a pátria por trinta dinheiros in Michaelis is the betrayal sense. The por there is the price of that betrayal. It is not the apartment.

revender. Priberam: Tornar a vender, and Vender (o que se tinha comprado para negócio). No clause. Aulete: Ele compra e revende carros, and O comerciante revendeu as antiguidades ao colecionador, label tdi. + a. The Buyer that this entry fills is a, not para. The Goods stay the direct object. revender is not a further page.

The converse is comprar. On vender the Seller is the subject and the Buyer is a, lhe, or Aulete’s para. On comprar the Buyer is the subject. The person of the ring is a or de: Aulete Comprou ao / do joalheiro um anel. That a is the Source, the Seller of the purchase, not the Buyer of vender. Ciberdúvidas, citing Luft and Fernandes, prints both do Djalma and ao Djalma as that Source, and leaves ao Djalma readable as para. The Price that comprar prints is the same preposition, por, on a price name: por bom preço. A dative lhe is unprinted on comprar in the articles that page opened. It is printed, as the Buyer, on vender.

Examples

Argument difference. English can package the Buyer and the Goods as two bare objects, I sold him my car, or put the Buyer in to and the Price in for. Portuguese prints one direct object, the Goods. The full Buyer is a or, in Aulete, para. The clitic of that Buyer is lhe. The Price is por. A bare sell him the car has no Portuguese twin in the lines opened here.

What se shows

The commercial passive or middle does not add a participant. It changes which place is the subject. On the agreeing plural, Ciberdúvidas 10657 equates Vendem-se estas casas with Estas casas são vendidas. The Goods are the subject. The Seller is not in the clause. The same answer treats singular Vende-se esta casa as an unnamed Seller, and treats non-agreeing vende-se casas as the form many people prefer and the form the answer rejects. Aulete’s O trigo vendia-se keeps a Price rate in the clause and still has no Buyer. A finite ser-passive that also names a Buyer and a sum is unprinted. The English buyer-passive on sell is a different promotion. Nothing further is constructed beyond the bare Vende-se casa above.

Notes

Working paper · October 2026 · Portuguese micro-entry · Beyond Index 2

Selling in Portuguese is four places with Portuguese cloth. Seller (Voice, subject), Goods (direct object), Buyer (a + NP, dative lhe, and Aulete’s para), Price (por + amount). English sell him the car is a bare object. Portuguese does not print that bare noun. English for is por. vender-se can put the Goods in the subject (vende-se casa). revender repeats the sale. comprar reverses it, and marks the Source with a or de.
