What the heck is "eis" in Portuguese?
Is this like "ecco" in Italian? I seem to see this written down but never said, unless I've missed it. How do I use it properly?

Question

Answer

"Eis" has the same meaning as "aqui está (estão)", "lá está (estão)", "veja", "perceba", "olhe".
It is a word of  uncertain origin, and the grammars don't agree in one classification, but most of them say it's an adverb.

"Eis" tem o mesmo significado que "aqui está (estão)", "lá está (estão)", "veja", "perceba", "olhe".
É uma palavra de origem certa, e que as gramáticas variam muito quanto a sua classificação, mas a maioria concorda em dizer que é um advérbio.

examples: Eis a questão.
Eis que, inesperadamente, o cantor chegou.
Eis o prêmio que tanto esperava.
Quanto às últimas novas, ei-las aqui minuciadas

About the "ecco" I have no idea, sorry!

Answer

I said it to m'wife when I presented her with her coffee this morning and she laughed because it seemed like a fancy, showy way of saying "here it s", and a bit OTT for the Ocado own-brand stuff I was offering, rather like I'd said "Voilà!" in French. I don't know if that helps at all, but FWIW...

Answer

Yes, "ECCO" can be used as "EIS", but "ECCO" can also be used as an interjection to express an order, an emotion, a sensation or appeal.
