Os Vários Empregos do Senhor Ramiro

The Various Jobs Of Sr. Ramiro

Luísa stops at the bakery to buy some bread and chat with Sr. Ramiro, an old family friend who seems to have had every profession imaginable!

Notes for this episode:

  • Notice how Luísa treats Sr. Ramiro with the formal form of “you” and he treats Luísa with the informal form (tu). Learn more about informal vs. formal forms of “you”.
  • Can you find examples of diminutive forms?
  • Notice how Portuguese typically does not always use articles (um, uma, etc.) when naming a profession (ferreiro vs a blacksmith)
