Fantástico!
Excellent Podcast on Antonio Guterres. You’ve done it again guys.
Gostei muito deste episódio. A tema é interessante para mim. Mas também porque agora consigo comprender e cantar o hino nacional inteiro! Até agora, não entendi as palavras “Que há-de guiar-te à vitória.” Há-de…??? Este episódio ensinou-me sobre “haver de,” muito obrigada! 🙂
I enjoyed this podcast very much; politics is all over the news, newspapers, magazines etc. in Portugal, so podcasts on political subjects are very relevant to life in Portugal, and something citizens and residents should (at least) be aware of, and maybe better participate in Portuguese life.
Thanks for covering some of the unique terms, words (“cargo” vs. “Carga”, por exemplo) and meanings in this subject!
Best Regards,
Bob
I laughed every single time you guys brought up the United States election hahah really nice episode, obrigada!!
Que é a diferênça entre de “haver de” e “ter que”? Eu hei de ir à loja para comprar ovos. Eu tenho que ir à loja para comprar ovos.
Olá, David. Este artigo pode ajudar: https://www.practiceportuguese.com/learning-notes/talking-about-the-future-with-haver/
“Haver de” e “ter que” (ou “ter de”) são semelhantes, mas “haver de” expressa uma intenção futura, num tempo indeterminado, enquanto “ter que” apenas expressa um dever ou necessidade.
– Eu hei de ir à loja para comprar ovos = I shall go/I intend to go to the store to buy eggs.
– Eu tenho que ir à loja para comprar ovos = I have to go to the store to buy eggs.
Obrigado, José. Agora entendo a diferença.
