When, in Portuguese, we mean to say that we have no money to buy something, a car, for example, we say "eu não tenho condições de comprar um carro". In English, however, the same idea must be expressed like this: "I can't afford to buy a car".
Most students get lost in translation by trying to use an expression similar to Portuguese: "I have no conditions to buy a car" or " I don't have conditions to buy a car", which completely misses the point.
