Make attenzione ai concetti! / Pay attention to the concepts!
Osservassione: / Note: All the language in Portuguese without the difference in the classification of the predicate nominale, to the extent that it protects its nucleus, its name sia aggettivo, always sarà ‘predicative of the subject'. / In the Portuguese language there is no difference in the classification of the nominal predicate, with regard to its nucleus: whether noun or adjective, it will always be the subject's predicative.
