Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas, and this is Luna. Luna: Hi everyone! It is so good to be here again. We are picking up right where we left off. Lucas: That is right. Last time we talked about ordering drinks at a bar. But weekends are not just about bars. Luna: True. Sometimes you just want to relax. Today we are talking about the weekend. Lucas: Exactly. The most common question people ask on Monday morning is about the previous two days. Luna: Oh, I hate that question sometimes. What do I say? Let me try. O que você fez no fim de semana? Lucas: Perfect pronunciation. Listen slowly. O que você fez no fim de semana? Luna: O que você fez no fim de semana? That means what did you do on the weekend? Lucas: Correct. 'Fim de semana' is weekend. 'Fez' is the past tense of doing something. Luna: I remember 'fazer' from before. So 'fez' is he or she did it. Lucas: Yes. And when asking you, it stays the same form. O que você fez no fim de semana? Luna: Okay. Now I need an answer. If I didn't go out, what do I say? Lucas: A very honest answer. You stayed home. Eu fiquei em casa. Luna: Eu fiquei em casa. Stayed at home. Simple and true. Lucas: Very common. Many people stay home. Listen to the rhythm. Eu fiquei em casa. Luna: Eu fiquei em casa. It sounds peaceful. Like drinking tea and reading. Lucas: Or watching TV. Did you watch anything interesting? Luna: Yes! I watched a new series. How do I say I saw or watched a series? Lucas: We use 'ver'. To see or to watch. Eu vi uma série. Luna: Eu vi uma série. Wow. Vi. That was fast. Lucas: It is irregular. Just remember 'vi'. Eu vi uma série. Luna: Eu vi uma série. It was really good. Very engaging. Lucas: So if someone asks you, you can tell them. They might ask if it was fun. Luna: How do I say it was fun? Or entertaining? Lucas: You can say it was very fun. Foi muito divertido. Luna: Foi muito divertido. Divertido. Like diverter. Fun. Lucas: Exactly. 'Foi' is the past tense of being or happening. Foi muito divertido. Luna: Foi muito divertido. Oh, that felt good to say. It flows nicely. Lucas: Let's put it together. They ask: O que você fez no fim de semana? Luna: And I answer: Eu fiquei em casa. Eu vi uma série. Foi muito divertido. Lucas: Brilliant. But conversation is a two-way street. You must ask back. Luna: Right. Otherwise it is like an interview. So I ask: E você? Lucas: Simple and effective. E você? And you? Luna: E você? Short and sweet. I love that phrase. Lucas: It keeps the dialogue moving. Let's review the full set one more time. Luna: Ready. First question: O que você fez no fim de semana? Lucas: O que você fez no fim de semana? Good. Luna: Answer: Eu fiquei em casa. Eu vi uma série. Foi muito divertido. Lucas: And the callback: E você? Perfect structure. Luna: I feel confident using these now. No more panic on Mondays. Lucas: That is the goal. Practice these until we meet again. Luna: Before we go, I have a small request for our listeners.
