tocas

Tocas is a term that can refer to several distinct uses in different languages and contexts. In Portuguese, toca is a feminine noun meaning a den, burrow, or sheltered hollow; its plural form is tocas, used when referring to more than one burrow. The word is commonly found in descriptions of animals or natural shelters. In addition, “tocas” is a common present-tense form of the verb tocar; as the second-person singular, it corresponds to “you touch” or, in a musical sense, “you play” a instrument, when the subject pronoun tu or you is implied in regional speech. For example, in European or Brazilian Portuguese contexts where the pronoun tu is used, “tu tocas o piano” means “you play the piano.”

Beyond Portuguese, “Tocas” may appear as a surname or as part of place names in Lusophone-speaking regions,
