sintonía, that boy Nando say "tá ligado" every 2 seconds lmao .. "é nós", "satisfação", "tranquilidade" 😭😭😭😭 just mad words he throw out

@@LonzCantiLife yep that’s the series that I watched LOL. He’s a great actor

@@rev3160 love it!! a couple follow up suggestions for you - "Good Morning Verônica" and check out the movie "Burning Betrayal".. you'll love those. and yea he really is 😂😭

Thanks for watching! While 'falar' indeed translates to 'to speak,' 'Fala aí' embodies a colloquial Brazilian Portuguese greeting, reminiscent of 'Hey there' or 'What's up' in English. It serves as an informal greeting. This showcases the adaptability and flexibility of language!

Hi there. Prior to being a slang, "fala aí" works similarly as "So, tell me". For example, here in São Paulo it's usually used with the word "beleza", which translates as "beauty" but in slang it means "everything fine/good". So, "Fala aí, beleza?" is a more flamboyant "what's up"

De nada! 👏👏

👏👏

ixi aí fodeu hein?

To better understand spoken Portuguese, try watching videos with subtitles to reinforce your comprehension while listening. Mimic phrases aloud to enhance pronunciation and fluency. Just keep practicing, and you'll see improvement over time!

Glad you found this video useful!

Disponha!

De nada! Sim, você pode usar a terceira construção com 'ter' para descrever sintomas. 😊

@@Learn-Brazilian-Portuguese excelente!

@@user-vq6il4np6v Além de "estar com" e "sentir", você pode usar "ter" para descrever sintomas. Tanto "ter" quanto "estar com" podem ser usados praticamente de forma intercambiável e transmitir significados semelhantes, mas tenha em mente que pode haver uma leve variação de significado aqui. Usando o seu exemplo, "Eu tenho dor nas pernas", o verbo "ter" dá a impressão de uma dor mais prolongada, talvez crônica. "Estar com", por outro lado, dá a sensação de um sintoma mais recente, talvez algo que começou recentemente, talvez há alguns dias ou semanas. Nesse sentido, "sentir" é mais neutro e não dá pistas sobre a duração do sintoma. Quanto ao seu segundo exemplo, "Ele tem febre" está perfeitamente correto, mas você ouvirá "Ele está com febre" com mais frequência, já que a febre geralmente não é um sintoma muito duradouro, então as pessoas naturalmente tendem a usar a construção "estar com".

@@Learn-Brazilian-Portuguese Valeu, muito obrigado! Os nuances interessantes pra caramba!

😂 you got this 💪

@@Learn-Brazilian-PortuguesePortuguese sounds like gibberish to me too, especially this guy in the video. I can’t make out what he’s saying and I don’t have time to translate it so I’m not even close to understanding what native speakers are saying. My girlfriend has to speak very slowly so I can translate everything one word at a time. I’ve studied for thousands of hours and practiced for thousands of hours but it’s not happening yet. My son can converse and he’s never studied Portuguese, he just picked it up while visiting Brasil with me several times.

I am Brazilian, and this also happened to me when I was learning English. In fact, I know why it's difficult to understand him speaking. This happens because of the abbreviations that we Brazilians use, which are used both in writing and in vocabulary. For example, if a Brazilian calls a friend to eat, instead of saying "Você quer comer aonde?" (Where do you wanna Eat) The Brazilian would say "Cê ké cume aonde?" Exactly as it happened at the 8:26 where he said "Vo da um rolê, até mais" instead of "Vou dar um rolê, até mais". I know it's confusing to understand, but watching videos of natives speaking will help you a lot to get used to it. I recommend you the video "How to understand native Speakers" from the channel Speaking Brazilian Language School, where the person talks precisely about this :)

@@anagmaraujo I’ve already watched her video but I can’t understand what she’s saying. Everything sounds like gibberish except for an occasional word which I have to translate into English to understand. When I visit Brasil for a month at a time I can’t understand what people are saying either. I’ve seen most of those videos from that channel. I appreciate the help!

Thank you for the feedback!

Was just about to ask the same. Thanks for your video! It’s amazing ❤

Yes, I agree.

Correct, when conjugating AR verbs for the first-person singular (Eu - I), we remove the "-ar" ending from the infinitive form of the verb and replace it with "-o". For example: Infinitive: 'Falar' (to speak) Eu falo (I speak) Infinitive: 'Cantar' (to sing) Eu canto (I sing) Infinitive: 'Estudar' (to study) Eu estudo (I study) For the third-person singular (Ele - He, Ela - She), the ending of the AR verb changes to "-a". Again, using the same examples: Infinitive: 'Falar' (to speak) Ele fala (He speaks) Ela fala (She speaks) Infinitive: 'Cantar' (to sing) Ele canta (He sings) Ela canta (She sings) Infinitive: 'Estudar' (to study) Ele estuda (He studies) Ela estuda (She studies)

Hi Van - thanks for your question! Gramatically, "a gente" is treated as a singular noun phrase, even though it refers to multiple individuals. Therefore, it takes singular verb conjugations. For example:"A gente mora aqui." (We live here.)"A gente trabalha juntos." (We work together.) "Nós": Grammatically, "nós" is treated as a plural subject, so it requires plural verb conjugations. For example:"Nós moramos aqui." (We live here.)"Nós trabalhamos juntos." (We work together.) So, the difference lies in the grammatical treatment of the subject, but they both mean “we.” Hope this clarifies!
