The video discusses the concept of pronoun placement in the Portuguese language. Pronoun placement occurs with eight specific pronouns and is divided into three possibilities: prosthesis, mesoclisis, and enclisis.
1. Prosthesis: The pronoun is placed before the verb. This occurs when there are conjunctions, interjections, prepositions, adverbs, or pronouns that attract the pronoun before the verb.
2. Mesoclisis: The pronoun is placed in the middle of the verb. This occurs when the verb is in the future or in the infinitive.
3. Enclisis: The pronoun is placed after the verb. This occurs in two cases: when a sentence starts with the pronoun, or when the verb is in the infinitive.
