What is 'water snake' in Portuguese?

In: Snakes, Care of Snakes, English to Portuguese [Edit categories]

Answer:

"Cobra-de-água-de-colar" is a Portuguese equivalent of "water snake" (Natrix natrix).

The feminine noun "cobra" takes "a" ("the") as its singular definite article and "uma" as its singular indefinite article. The preposition "de" means "of, from." The feminine noun "água" means "water." The masculine noun "colar" means "necklace." Its singular definite article is "o," and its singular indefinite article "um."

All together, the pronunciation is "KOH-bruh DJAH-gwuh djee KOH-luhr."
