“Jeito” or “geito”: how to spell it correctly?
When “g” and “j” come before the letter “e”, they sound the same. This is why we end up getting confused and not knowing whether the right thing to write is “jeito” or “geito”. So I'll tell you what the correct way is. It’s “the way”! That's right, with “j”. But why “j” and not “g”?
The explanation of normative grammar is that “jeito” is part of the same family of words as “ajeiitar”, “enjeitar”, “deajeitado” etc. And you know that people from the same family, in some way, tend to look like each other, right? This is also the case with words, and the family of the word “jeito” is not identified with “g”.
