Tenho andado um pouco costipado . .?? I have walking a small cold? Explicate por favor? Obrigado
Hah, that’s a very literal translation. The verb andar is mainly, but not only about walking. It can also be used in expressions such as “O que andas a fazer?” (What are you up to/What have you been up to?), “Como tens andado?” (How have you been?) or “Ela anda triste ultimamente” (She’s been looking sad lately). This is mentioned at the end of this Learning Note: Present Continuous in Portuguese
Não é necessário que ela tome antibióticos para a gripe, que é um vírus. Ela deve tomar apenas o paracetamol – muito mais barato também!!
Ainda gostei do diálogo!

(reformado)
Infelizmente os médicos gostam muito de prescrever antibióticos… Não sei por que.
Estou a ter confusāo? Algumas das amigas, ou é umas das amigas ? Qual é correcto? Faz favor?
“Algumas das minhas amigas” é a opção mais correcta. “Umas amigas minhas” é uma outra alternativa comum e aceitável.
Não entendo a gramática da frase “poderá tomar um comprimido de 8 em 8 horas.”
Especificamente “de 8 em 8 horas”, por que significa?
É “de 8 em 8 hours” igual de “a cada em 8 horas”?
Sim, “de 8 em 8 horas” é o mesmo que “a cada 8 horas” (every 8 hours). As duas expressões são comuns em português, por isso podes escolher a que for mais natural para ti 🙂
Obrigado Joseph, isso é muito útil
“A Filipa tem que tomar o antibiotico”. I thought the proper way to render “to have to” was “ter de”?
Olá, Boguslaw. Grammarians would probably say as much, but at this point in time, both forms (ter de and ter que) are used interchangeably by most people. Here’s a forum topic where we discussed this in more detail: Ter de vs. ter que
There seems to be a minor translation error here. Filipa says “Por acaso também preciso de levar uma caixa de comprimidos para a dor de cabeça”, and the translation is given as “I also need a box of painkillers”. The reference to her headache is missing.
Thanks, we’ve just updated the translation to make it more complete.
These both apparently mean the same thing (I am vomiting). Is there a preference?
Estou com vómitos
Estou a vomitar
Olá, Peter. They’re very similar, but “Estou a vomitar” might sound more like something that is happening right now, while “Estou com vómitos” sounds more like “Lately, I’ve been vomiting”. In cases like this, it’s also common to use the verb andar instead of estar (see the end of this Note: Present Continuous in Portuguese):
– Ando com vómitos (I’ve been vomiting)
– Ando indisposto (I’ve been feeling sick)
What is the distinction between saying “um comprido de 8 em 8 horas” versus “um comprido a cada 12 horas”? Obrigada 🙏
No difference between them 🙂 “De… em” and “a cada” are interchangeable.
Hi
I am struggling to see or understand the translation of:
E de quanto em quanto tempo é que o devo tomar.
The given translation of ‘And how long should I take it?’ seems wrong. Maybe it should be how often. But why two quantos?
No caso do paracetamol, poderá tomar um comprimido de 8 em 8 horas.
Similarly, why does the 8 get repeated. Could you explain how this translates literally?
Olá. Thanks for your comment – indeed, the translation was not the most accurate. We’ve updated it to “how often”.
Regarding “de [X] em [X]”, this is the same as “a cada [X]” = every [X] time. It’s somewhat like saying “from 8 to 8 hours” or “counting by 8s”. It can be used both in a question and in an answer, which is why you first see ‘quanto’ repeated (question), and then you see ‘8’ (answer).
This was questioned in 2019 but in relation to the use of the verb Andar. The phrase is “Tenho andado um pouco constipada e com tosse” but the English translation is “I’ve been having a bit of cold and coughing” Google is translating “a bit of cold…” to “um pouco resfriado”, can you explain what is correct?
That’s an easy one: “resfriado” is the Brazilian term to having a cold.
Google translator, unfortunately, tends to use Brazilian Portuguese as standard translation, not being able to distinguish both European and Brazilian Portuguese.
“Estar constipado” is the correct term in European Portuguese. 🙂
Sorry, to be clear “Estar constipada” means to “have a cold”?
Muito obrigada,
Allison
Yes, “estar constipada” (fem.) or “estar constipado” (masc.) or even “estar com uma constipação” mean “to have a cold”! 🙂
Hello,
In the text, Filipa says the sentence ”Por acaso, tambem preciso de levar uma caixa de comprimidos para a dor de cabeca. Quais e que me sugere?”. Why is ”quais” the plural form of ”qual” used with singlurar form of the verb ”ser”? Shouldn’t it be ”quais sao que me sugere” and ”qual e que me sugere”? Wouldn’t that be gramatically correct or ma I wrong perhaps?
Thank you in advance
Good question. “Quais” is pluralized in reference to “comprimidos”, and unrelated to “é que”, which is a separate element that we optionally add to questions. “É que” is a fixed idiom, which doesn’t have to agree with the rest of the sentence. The question could very well just be “Quais me sugere?” and would still be complete. More on that here: Using “é que” in European Portuguese Questions | Practice Portuguese
I see, muito obrigado 🙂
Is there a noticeable difference between „sinto-me (adjective)“ and „me sinto (adjective)“? F. E. Intuitively I would have said „me sinto melhor“ instead of „sinto-me melhor“.
Per se, “sinto-me” is the European Portuguese preference, while “me sinto” is Brazilian Portuguese. In European Portuguese, “me sinto” is only acceptable in the presence of ‘magnetic’ words, and as such, it could never appear at the start of a sentence/clause (since there would be no magnetic word in front of it then). Nonetheless, the meaning is exactly the same 🙂
Obrigado 🙂 Given the presence of such a ‚magnetic‘ word like „já“ – are both forms acceptable? Like „Já me sinto bem“ and „Já sinto-me bem“.
You’re welcome! You should only say “Já me sinto bem”, then. With a ‘magnetic’ word, the pronoun should come before the verb (proclitic placement). Verb phrases offer further possibilities, as detailed here: Clitic Pronouns in Verb Phrases | Practice Portuguese
