I have a question about the use of the Future tense. I have a feeling that it’s not used that much in speech. So do you have it here just to give an example of how clitics behave with this tense or is it really how a Portuguese person might speak?
You’re correct that the Future tense is not as commonly used in everyday speech in Portuguese. It’s often replaced with the present tense or the “going to” future (ir + infinitive), especially in informal contexts. That’s called the Informal Future!
However, the Future tense is still important to learn and understand, as it is used in more formal or literary contexts, and you will certainly come across it when reading or listening to Portuguese. In the lesson you referred to, we included it to demonstrate how clitics behave with this tense.
Please, check this Learning Note for more information: https://www.practiceportuguese.com/learning-notes/talking-about-the-future/
There was a restaurant episode where you pointed out the everyday use of simple future for esthetic reasons. I think it was “volterei” instead of “vou voltar”.
I believe you’re referring to the Shorty Um Jantar a Dois, but I can’t seem to understand what do you mean about the “aesthetic reasons”!… The waiter is using “VOLTAREI” – a more formal and polite speech – for costumer service, so this doesn’t represent a casual context.
I think that the speed of the conversion is too fast ! I try and repeat but the script has moved on .. please slow down .. 🎄
Hi Louise! To adjust the speed of the recording, please click on the ‘speedometer’ icon to the left of the Play button and the ‘go back 10 seconds’ button. Then you can scroll and choose a lower speed such as .7, for example, to play it at 70% speed. I hope this helps!
