  1. In Portuguese, those suffixes can get a bit confusing for foreigners because the rule is not always the same. For instance, the feminine of "actor" (yes, in Portuguese it's spelled exactly like in English) is "actriz" but the feminine of "embaixador" (ambassador in English) is not "embaixatriz", it's "embaixadora". "Embaixatriz" is the ambassador's wife, just like "imperador" (emperor) is masculine and "imperadora" is feminine but "imperatriz" is the emperor's wife. These are only a few exceptions, the majority of nouns ended in "-or" form the feminine with "-ora" just like the examples I gave above. : )
