  • Portuguese speakers use the term oração for a sentence specifically because it must contain a verb, distinguishing it from the broader frase.
  • If you want to describe a phrase that is 'cliché' or overused, Portuguese speakers might call it a 'clichê' or use the expression 'frase feita', which literally translates to 'made phrase'.
