Diana: Está bem.
{{Diana: Okay.}}
15
00:00:27,696 –> 00:00:30,976
É que a tua irmã odeia estar a sós comigo.
{{It’s [just] that your sister hates being alone with me.}}

Rafael: Não odeia nada!
{{Rafael: She doesn’t hate anything!}}
17
00:00:32,596 –> 00:00:34,336
O que te faz pensar isso?
{{What makes you think that?}}
18
00:00:34,336 –> 00:00:35,216

Diana: Como é que vocês odeiam atrasos,
{{Diana: How is it that you hate lateness,}}
41
00:01:16,016 –> 00:01:18,536
se estão sempre a chegar atrasados?
{{if you are always arriving late?}}
42
00:01:18,546 –> 00:01:19,805
Rafael: O quê?
{{Rafael: What?}}
43

Tu é que estás.
{{It is you who is [always late].}}

Fazemos assim… trancamos a porta, enchemos um balde de água,
{{We’ll do it like this… we lock the door, we fill a bucket of water,}}
52
00:01:42,796 –> 00:01:48,196

Hi does saying “Onde é que está a tua irmã?“ have a greater emphasis than simply “Onde é” someone? Or are both the same. Thanks for the continuing shorties everyone.
Hi, Penny. Yes, there’s no difference in meaning between the two, but “Onde é que está a tua irmã?” can maybe be considered a bit more emphatic. We’re really just very used to adding that extra “é que” 🙂
Olá. What’s up with the ó at the end, as in “ó engraçadinha”? Thanks!!
“ó” is a word we use to get someone’s attention/address them. For example, “Ó João, anda cá!” (Hey John, come here!). In this context, “ó engraçadinha” is like “you funny girl”.
Perfeito. Já entendo. Obrigado.
I appreciate the sense of humor in these dialogues, compared to the boring scenarios in typical language textbooks!
Eu odeio verbo irregulares. Ha-Ha-Ha.
The tags on this episode says that the people are Eliana and Rui, but in the dialogue they are Diana and Rafael…
Sorry for the confusion! Eliana and Rui are the names of the real people doing the voices, while the names in the dialogue are the characters they are playing.
Bearing in mind this is level A1 I found the speed of dialogue extremely fast with multiple phrases that would not be found with the level of knowledge so far reached.
I think it it is quite a lot to ask a beginner to even try and comprehend anything from this shorty. The grammar constructs would not be understood ie Dá lhe, está a vontade , parece que nunca , nem te digo etc.
However mostly it is the speed.
My knowledge level is probably B2 but even I had difficulty with this.
Good points! The level estimate is A2, but it shows up in an A1 unit, so I completely understand. And you’re right that some of the expressions and certain grammar features would fall into the B level. We moved this unit earlier in the series recently and have been working on creating an easier episode to replace this one soon. Note: One thing that can help when it’s too fast is to slow it down just slightly (to 0.8x or 0.9x) using the button on the top right of the player.
Keep in mind that we don’t expect you to be able to understand everything or have all the concepts in a Shorty mastered already. Instead, our goal is to create a good challenge / learning tool for someone working on the estimated level. We try to plan them so that you can understand parts of it, but that you can also learn new things by seeing how the unit’s topic applies in a real-life context, picking up some useful expressions that you may not have come across until much later otherwise, etc.
In the earlier units especially, these Shorties are primarily a way to start giving you exposure to the language, but we expect that someone at the A1 level would use the Translate toggle button heavily. We want to keep the dialogue as realistic as possible, and in real life, native speakers don’t speak at an A1 level, so it’s always tough to find a good balance. I agree that this one has too much new information for this stage! We’ll work on a better fit — I just wanted to clarify to set up expectations for the other Shorties.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here!
