Rui: tu es mega-talentoso (Joel e sua linda família também, sem dúvida – mas suas variações vocais e de personalidades são notáveis e impressionante). Parabéns! Ótimo episódio – aprendi muito e agora estou com fome! 🙂
Semelhante de “na boa,” em Angola oiço frequentemente “nas calmas.” “Nas calmas” é usado também em Portugal?
Gostaria se vocês fizessem mais episódios de só falar! Se não têm tempo para fazer episódios inteiros, seria bom escutar suas vozes para melhorar a minha pronúncia
adoro! Mas nao ajude-me com os alentejanos
Ola Rui & Joel. How are both of you?
Portuguese is a beautiful language, and I am just beginning to learn. For my birthday, my husband signed me up for Practice Portuguese. I love the website! It is very user friendly, practical & fun.
We are coming to visit Portugal in the Fall, so I am trying to learn as much as I can! I have so much to learn.
Thank you for this incredible teaching site. (Hopefully, I can use more Portuguese words down the line)
ciao,
Katherine
Olá Katherine, thanks to you and your husband for your support (and for the kind words as well ☺️) All the best with your learning… Portugal awaits!
Não posso ouvir os diálogos, eu gosto muito dos podcast.
Eu si go-to em youtube. Obrigada
Olá Trina! Enviei-te um email agora, espero que te ajude! Abraço, Joel
Adorei! Muito obrigada!
Thank you very much, you are both so good! I enjoy your lessons alot.
Gosto muito deste episódio! Muito engraçado e entendi quase tudo. Viva! 😀
Another great episode, thanks.
I had a great time listening to it, especially since it was really funny as well.
I have one question regarding the following section:
“Eu estou à rasca para arranjar casa.”
Your translation says the meaning in English would be: I really need to find a house.
I got a bit confused here, because I’d have translated it as: I really need to tidy up.
Maybe you guys can help me and explain why arranjar means find in this case.
Thank you so much and all the best,
Andy
Olá, Andy. Thank you! To answer your question, it’s all a matter of context. One of the meanings of ‘arranjar’ is to find/to get, and in this context, it’s the one that applies. I actually wouldn’t use the verb ‘arranjar’ for tidying up a room or something. The verbs ‘arrumar’ or even ‘limpar’ are a closer match 🙂
