É bom ver os Açores nesta lição 🙂
Também gosto de visitar o arquipélago dos Açores 🙂
Olá! Just a quick question. I know there are exceptions to many rules; however, why are “As ilhas ESTÃO no oceano Atlântico” rather than “SÃO no oceano Atlântico”. The islands do not move to other oceans, do they? 😉 To my mind, their location in the Atlantic seems fairly permanent. Is this an exception to the general rule? Thank you in advance. Obrigado!
Good question! The verbs ser, estar, and ficar can often be used interchangeably when it comes to physical location. The temporary/permanent distinction is helpful in many cases, but you’re right that this is one of the many exceptions! Here’s a more in-depth discussion on this topic: Ser ou Estar
I really enjoyed this section, longing for the time we will be able to travel again and explore the beauties of Portugal. In the vocabulary list, I wanted to ask whether the word ‘atarefada’ can be used in expressions like ‘I am very busy’.
That’s true. I also miss travelling freely 🙂 Yes, you can use ‘atarefado’ or ‘atarefada’ in that kind of expressions. For example, “Estou muito atarefado(a)”.
