The most common way to ask what is someone else's profession is:
O que você faz? (What do you do?)
To answer this question, we use the verb ser (to be) and the name of our profession or job.
For example:
Eu sou professora de português. (I am a Portuguese teacher).
E você? O que você faz? (And you? What do you do?)
The names of professions vary in gender (feminine or masculine) and number (singular or plural).
Let's see some examples:
Eu sou professora. (I'm a teacher).
Ele é professor. (He is a teacher).
Usually, nouns ending in r are masculine, and we just need to add the letter a at the end to have the feminine version.
For example:
Cantor - cantora (singer).
Escritor - escritora (writer).
Now let's look at examples in the plural:
Elas são professoras. (They are teachers - fem. plural).
Eles são professores. (They are teachers - masc. plural).
Usually, to form the plural of nouns, we simply add the letter s at the end. But when the noun ends in r, we add the letters es.
For example:
Cantor - cantores (singers).
Escritor - escritores (writers).
As a rule, nouns ending in a are feminine and those ending in o are masculine, but there are some exceptions. Some nouns have only one form, that is, the same noun works for both genders, as is the case with the words estudante (student), dentista (dentist), gerente (manager), motorista (driver).
At the end of the video, there is an exercise for you to practice what you just learned.

Tenho uma pergunta. Fiz parte das lições do seu curso gratuito de pronúncia. Quando uma palavra termina em os ou as, as letras a e o têm a mesma pronúncia do que a ou o ao final de palavras como por exemplo engenheiro ou estive? Gosto dos seus vídeos :)

Can you be my Teacher and help me learn how to speak Portuguese. Or do you know any Brazilians who want to Skype or face time with some one who speaks English.
Olá Armando. I would love to be your teacher! Take a look at the classes I offer at Speaking Brazilian Language School. I suggest you begin with my free course in pronunciation. Here's the link to sign up: bit.ly/sbminicourse.
Po que você usa “o” no començo da pregunta? Eu falo Espanhol e Eu não entendo
Aquelas mulheres são dentistas.
We need to expand Portuguese in these times of transgender rights. Male teacher is professor, female teacher is professora, what would a transgender or mix gender person be introduced as ? We need additional words like professorix
Maybe "professore"? I've seen people using the E at the end instead of A or O. Usually, words that end with E can be used for all genders, like the word "estudante".
@@SpeakingBrazilian Good idea but a distinctive word will do better job Thank Virginia I just poke ffun / pun around
