Usage notes

edit
  • Since the 19th century, as of a proposal from Brazilian lexicographer Antônio de Morais Silva in 1813, some authorities and usage critics have considered sense 2.1, sense 2.2, and sense 3 ungrammatical.[1][2][3][4][5] According to them:
    • onde, aonde, and donde can only refer to a location:
      O Brasil é um país onde a desigualdade social é assustadora. (país is a location, so onde is grammatical)
      Brazil is a country where social inequality is frightening.
      Trata-se de uma reportagem sobre o Leste Europeu onde são retratados os novos associados da União Europeia. (reportagem isn't a location, so onde is ungrammatical and should be replaced by na qual)
      This is a report on Eastern Europe where the new members of the European Union are depicted.
    • aonde must be used if it modifies a verb denoting movement, and onde otherwise:
      Aonde cheguei? (meaning A que lugar cheguei?, so aonde is grammatical)
      Where have I arrived?
      Aonde você mora? (meaning Em que lugar você mora?, so aonde is ungrammatical and should be replaced by onde)
      Where do you live?
Those rules are chiefly followed in formal writing. However, Brazilian dictionary Houaiss opposes the latter prescription, stating that onde and aonde have been interchanged in Portuguese for centuries and that such use should not be qualified as an error, even in formal language.[6]
  • This adverb can follow any preposition but em.
