What is 'my favorite' when translated from English to Portuguese?

A minha preferida and o meu preferido are Portuguese equivalents of the English phrase "my favorite." Context makes clear whether "my preferred one" or "my preferred thing" is feminine- (case 1) or masculine-gendered (example 2). The respective pronunciations will be "a MEE-nyuh PREY-fey-REE-duh" in the feminine and "oo MEY-oo PREY-fey-REE-doo" in the masculine in Cariocan Brazilian and in continental Portuguese.
