Maravilhoso! đ Tantos ditados muito interessantes e vocabulĂĄrio alimentar que eu nĂŁo sabia. E LMAO @ âCom sorte, ainda ficam com pena de mim e depositam lĂĄ uns trocos!â e ââŠse precisar de alguma coisa, grite, que Ă© como quem diz chame, que eu venho ajudar!â MuitĂssimo obrigado â os seus trabalhos fortes continuam a ser hilĂĄrio, criativo, e educativo ao mesmo tempo. Abraços e parabĂ©ns Ă equipa de Practice Portuguese!
Este episódio tem tantos diminutivos. Podereis fazer um episódio sobre como usar diminutivos nos situaçÔes variosas?
OlĂĄ, Kevin. Na verdade, nĂŁo hĂĄ nenhuma regra nem obrigação de usar diminutivos em situação nenhuma â Ă© apenas uma escolha de cada um que pode acrescentar cor ao discurso e destacar alguma caracterĂstica (por exemplo, dizer âmenininhoâ enfatiza que Ă© um menino muito novo ou pequeno). De qualquer forma, obrigado pela sugestĂŁo, que fica aqui registada e poderĂĄ sempre ser explorada no futuro đ
I love this one. I know Iâll watch it several times. Itâs full of very useful vocabulary and expressions. Can you please do one about a visit to the veterinario? Iâve searched your podcasts and canât find anything about pets at all. If there is one that Iâve missed, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Hello, I cannot access the Vocabulary or Expressions for this episode.
OlĂĄ Maria, thanks very much for letting us know! Iâve corrected it đ
OlĂĄ, can you explain the use of âZĂ©â. I canât find much of a definition on the web or searching this site. I see ZĂ©-povinho as the man in the street, but I have seen posts where it is used as a title like senhor. Thanks.
OlĂĄ, Daniel! âZĂ©â is not a title, but a given name, usually short for JosĂ©. ZĂ© Povinho is the name of a fictional character created for satirical purposes, as a personification of the Portuguese people. People still use that name mockingly in reference to the Portuguese in general (i.e. âZĂ© Povinhoâ = âthe peopleâ) đ If you can point me to any instances where you saw ZĂ© used as a title, maybe I could better understand what you meant.
Obrigado, Joseph. It was an incorrect assumption on my part. I saw Dona Rosa talking to ZĂ© Miguel and thought they were both using titles: Dona to ZĂ© â the older woman and the younger man. Then I saw the âZĂ©â again attached to a first name and continued to believe it was some sort of title. Thanks for clearing that up.
Ah, I see. Youâre welcome đ
