Hello — great script, but wondering if this sentence is uncorrect.
Should it be “ti” instead of “si”??
Ela ainda no outro dia falou de si.
She was talking about you just the other day.
Correct: Ela ainda no outro dia falou de ti.
Olá! “Si” is correct in this context, because they are speaking to each other in a formal register. So, “si” relates to the pronoun “você”, which is the backbone of this whole conversation (the actual pronoun is implied, replaced by polite expressions such as “a senhora” and “o Rui”). “Ti” is correct in an informal register, in connection to the pronoun “tu”.
