Vamos à Praia

Let's Go to the Beach

Zé decides to go to the beach with his two daughters. Why are they taking so long to get ready?

  • Zé: Meninas! Despachem-se que já são horas! Zé: Girls! Hurry up, it's time!
  • Ana: Sim, pai, vamos já! Ana: Yes dad, we're coming!
  • Zé: Andem lá, que ainda temos de ir buscar a vossa mãe ao supermercado antes de irmos para a praia! Zé: Come on, we still have to pick your mother up at the supermarket before we go to the beach!
  • Ana: Está bem, estamos a vestir-nos! Ana: All right, we're getting dressed!
  • Zé: Ai ai, estas miúdas dão-me cabo do juízo... Zé: Oh, these girls get on my nerves...
  • Ana: Eu já estou pronta, pai, a Alice ainda se está a preparar. Ana: I'm ready, Dad, Alice is still getting ready.
  • Zé: Mas o que é que vocês precisam de preparar para irem para a praia? Basta uma toalha e um fato de banho! Zé: But what do you need to prepare to go to the beach? Just a towel and a swimsuit!

  • Hi. In the expression “Esses banhos de sol só vos fazem é mal”, why is ‘é’ used as well as the ‘fazem’? What is the subject of the sentence and is the subject plural or singular? What is the subject that uses ‘é’? Thanks.

    • Olá 🙂 In the sentence “Esses banhos de sol só vos fazem é mal”, the verb ‘fazem’ is related to the subject ‘esses banhos de sol’, which is plural. The ‘é’ here is used only for emphasis, without having a grammatical function per se. This is an idiomatic use of this verb form. It could easily be omitted without any change in meaning, only tone: “Esses banhos de sol só vos fazem mal”.
