Comments

  • Why’s it “aonde quer que fosse” instead of simply “aonde fui” since it’s simply relaying what happened in the past?

    • “Aonde quer que fosse” (something like “Wherever/Everywhere I went” or “No matter where I went”) brings extra emphasis to the fact that the speaker’s experience was very positive regardless of the location, moreso than the plain “aonde fui” or “aonde ia” 🙂

  • As I understood the phase “Aonde quer que fosse”, means no matter where I went or something like wherever or everywhere can be used in the context of purpose to explain or describe the past experience!

    • Yes! It’s definitely looking into a past experience 🙂 For a present or future outlook, you can change it to “Aonde quer que vá”. For example:
      – Aonde quer que vá, como muito bem em Portugal. (No matter where I go, I eat very well in Portugal)
