#### Usage notes

* Since the 19th century, as of a proposal from Brazilian lexicographer Antônio de Morais Silva in 1813, some authorities and usage critics have considered sense 2.1, sense 2.2, and sense 3 ungrammatical. According to them:
** onde, aonde, and donde can only refer to a location:
    O Brasil é um país onde a desigualdade social é assustadora. (país is a location; onde is grammatical)Brazil is a country where social inequality is frightening.
    Trata-se de uma reportagem sobre o Leste Europeu na qual são retratados os novos associados da União Europeia. (reportagem isn't a location; onde is proscribed)This is a report on Eastern Europe in which the new members of the European Union are depicted.
** aonde must be used if it modifies a verb denoting movement, and onde otherwise:
    Aonde cheguei? (meaning A que lugar cheguei?, so it's grammatical)Where have I arrived?
    Aonde você mora? (meaning Em que lugar você mora?, so it's ungrammatical and should be replaced by Onde)Where do you live?
    Those rules are chiefly followed in formal writing. However, Brazilian dictionary Houaiss opposes the latter prescription, stating that onde and aonde have been interchanged in Portuguese for centuries and that such use should not be qualified as an error, even in formal language.
* This adverb can follow any preposition but em.
