**** Usage notes
In Brazilian Portuguese, when used in senses [pt] and [pt], this word is seen
as [informal] and usually as having a more emphatic, slapdash or aggressive
connotation than its synonyms [pt] and [pt]. Compare the sentences _COLOQUEI
o livro na mochila_ and _METI o livro na mochila_, both translating to _I PUT
the book in the backpack_. While the first one merely describes the action,
the second one is usually interpreted as a mildly aggressive or hasty action.
See also [pt], which is also informal.
