  • Great episode!
    The translation has, “ I have passed on to you the information about all the projects,”
    but I would think this is to him, rather than to you. How would I have figured this out?
    Obrigada!

    • Olá! Thank you for your comment. Actually, the translation was incorrect – it does refer to ‘him’. Sorry about that; it’s already fixed 🙂

    • Olá! ‘Rói’ is actually a form of the imperative mood (second-person singular). It’s coupled with the reflexive pronoun ‘-te’ because the listener is supposed to gnaw at herself with envy – to eat her heart out, as one might say in English.

      • I am a bit confused as I thought second person singular imperative ends in the letter ‘e’ for ‘-ER’ and ‘-IR’ verbs, but this imperative ends in the letter ‘i’. Is it an irregular form?

        • The imperative doesn’t need to end in E, although that is the usual for those groups of verbs. Some of many exceptions include verbs such as roer (imperative: rói), dizer (imperative: diz), ter (imperative: tem), sorrir (imperative: sorri) or sair (imperative: sai). These are indeed irregular forms.
