Comments
Might be worth adding ‘ambos’ (both) to the vocabulary list. Feel I should have known such a simple word, but now it’s in my brain. Thanks!
Added! 🙂
Just on the above point, I think I have always worked around it by saying ‘os dois’ / ‘as duas’ – not sure if this is correct / good Portuguese.
That is correct, too
Ola! Are the phrases ‘queria’ ’ and ‘gosteria’ interchangeable as ‘I would like’? I thought queria was more ‘I want’ and gosteria ‘ I would like’ ie a little more polite?
Thank you!
Olá, Fiona! Yes, queria and gostaria are interchangeable when used in that sense. Note that queria (I would want) is in the past imperfect and gostaria (I would like) is in the conditional; they’re not in the exact same tense. Also, “I want” is the simple present, so that would be “eu quero” – which does sound a bit blunt for us, unless you make up for it with a smile, a gentle tone and a “por favor” in the end 🙂
Thank you so much!
Depois de tres anos, ainda nao consigo pronunciar „nao“ perfeitamente, I hear it pronounced in so many different ways … is it true that there are different ways to pronounce it? Neo as in Nell, or Non as in French, or Nao as in Now? Or should I listen better? My wife says so …
Well, the pronunciation may vary with the regional accent. In Practice Portuguese, you’re mostly hearing the typical accent from Lisbon and around, which also corresponds to the dominant accent in Portuguese media. Many of the shorties do feature Northern accents as well.
OK, compreendo, obrigado para a tua resposta!
Is it appropriate in this kind of environment to use tu?
It always depends on who you’re talking to, but it’s totally fine with me! De nada!
(P.S.: Obrigado pela tua resposta)
When a fee says thank you does she say obrigada and when a male says that you does he say obrigado?
Yes, that’s correct. 🙂
Obrigada
Abrigada para a transcriçao. Question: When do I use “para” and “por”. I guessed when I put “para”.
Here’s a Learning Note helps explain the difference between por and para: https://www.practiceportuguese.com/learning-notes/the-difference-between-por-and-para/ 🙂
Uma dúvida:
Filipe: O que é isso?
Telma: Isso é manteiga.
(Não devia ser “Isto é manteiga”?)
Olá, Mark. Bem apanhado (good catch)! Sim, deveria ser “isto” (porque supostamente a manteiga está perto dela). Falha nossa 🙂
In the dialogue Rui pronounces gosto with an open “o” (the first o) much like the english “ah” whereas in the vocabulary it becomes “goostar” like the english sound in goose.
Olá! Yes, that is correct. The verb form ‘gosto’ is stressed on the first syllable, and that O should be open. The infinitive ‘gostar’, on the other hand, is stressed on the last syllable, so it’s the A that is open, while the O sounds closed. The sound of the O is also what allows us to distinguish between ‘gosto’ as a verb (conjugated in the 1st person singular, ‘I like’) and ‘gosto’ as a noun (meaning ‘taste’) -> the noun is also stressed on the first syllable, but with a medium O, not an open one.
