The terms 'ate', which is pronounced 'ah-TEH'; or 'para cima', which is pronounced 'PAH-ruh SEE-muh', may be Portuguese equivalents of the English word 'up'.

The first example of 'ate' is used as 'up' in the sense of 'until' or 'up to a certain point'. For example, 'to go up to a great height' is translated into Portuguese as 'subir ateuma altura bem elevada'.

The second example of 'para cima' is used as 'up' in the sense of 'upwards'. For example, 'to turn up the music' may be translated into Portuguese as 'girar o dial do volume para cima'.
