Crase

 

Crase

Crase is the fusion of the preposition a with the feminine definite article a in Portuguese, marked with a grave accent, resulting in à.

à

For example, the sentence "Vou a a casa de João" (I am going to John's) would be written as "Vou à casa de João", which simplifies the sentence, as the pronunciation of à is the same as a.
