- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hey everyone. It is good to be here again. Lucas: It really is. We are so glad you joined us for episode two hundred and forty-two. Luna: Yes. Today we are going outside. Well, sort of. Inside the podcast. Lucas: Right. We are talking about camping. This is a fun topic. Luna: I love it. Last week we talked about ordering coxinha. That was delicious. Lucas: It was. But today we need more than food. We need gear. We need plans. Luna: Okay. So, what is the first thing we say? How do we start the plan? Lucas: We use a verb. The verb is 'acampar'. It means to camp. Luna: Acampar. Okay. Let me try that. Lucas: Good. Listen closely. Vamos acampar. Luna: Vamos... acampar. Lucas: Perfect. Vamos acampar. This means we want to go camping together. Luna: I like that phrase. It sounds exciting. Vamos acampar. Lucas: It does. Now, if we are going camping, what do we need? Luna: Food? Clothes? A tent? Lucas: All of those. But let's focus on the shelter. The word for tent is 'barraca'. Luna: Barraca. Got it. b a r r a c a. Lucas: Exactly. Now, let's put it in a sentence. We need a tent. Luna: How do we say 'we need'? Is it 'nós precisamos'? Lucas: Yes. Precisely. So, the phrase is: Precisamos de uma barraca. Luna: Precisamos de uma barraca. Let me say that slowly. Lucas: Take your time. Slowly. Luna: Pre-ci-sa-mos de uma bar ra ca. Lucas: That was very clear. Precisamos de uma barraca. Good job. Luna: Thanks. I feel like I am already at the campsite. Precisamos de uma barraca. Lucas: You are. Now, imagine we have set up the tent. It is evening. Luna: Oh, I love evenings. What do we do? Lucas: We make a fire. The word for campfire is 'fogueira'. Luna: Fogueira. fo guei ra. That has a nice rhythm. Lucas: It does. Now, sometimes things go wrong. Maybe the fire dies out. Luna: Oh no. Why would that happen? Lucas: Maybe it rained. Or maybe we forgot wood. We can say: The campfire is out. Luna: Is 'out' just 'fora'? Like outside? Lucas: No, not exactly. For a fire, we use the verb 'apagar'. To extinguish. Luna: Ah, okay. So, the fire is extinguished. Lucas: Right. A fogueira está apagada. Let's try that. Luna: A fogueira está apagada. Oh, that is bad news. Lucas: It is. But we can fix it. A fogueira está apagada. Repeat it with me. Luna: A fogueira está apagada. There we go. Lucas: Excellent. Now, here is a bigger problem. You walk away from the tent. Luna: To get water? From the lake? Lucas: Yes. And when you come back, you do not recognize the trees. Luna: Oh my gosh. That is scary. What do you say? Lucas: You say: I am lost. The verb is 'perder'. To lose. Luna: Perder. Okay. So, I am lost. Lucas: Yes. Estou perdido. If you are female, you would say 'estou perdida'. But let's stick with masculine for now. Luna: Estou perdido. That sounds serious. Lucas: It is. But don't worry. You can ask for directions. Where is the trail? Luna: Trail? Like a path in the woods? Lucas: Yes. The word is 'trilha'. T-R-I-L-H-A. Luna: Trilha. Okay. So, where is the trail? Lucas: Onde fica a trilha? Onde fica... means where is located. Luna: Onde fica a trilha? Let me practice that. Lucas: Go ahead. Luna: Onde fica a trilha? Onde fica a trilha? Lucas: Very good. Onde fica a trilha? Now, imagine someone answers you. Luna: They point to the left. And I find my tent. Lucas: And you light the fire. A fogueira está apagada... but now it is lit. Luna: Yes. We survived. Vamos acampar. Lucas: Vamos acampar. Let's review our list one more time. Luna: Okay. First: Vamos acampar. Lucas: Let's go camping. Next: Precisamos de uma barraca. Luna: We need a tent. Then: A fogueira está apagada. Lucas: The campfire is out. Next: Estou perdido. Luna: I am lost. And finally: Onde fica a trilha? Lucas: Where is the trail? Great work. Before we go, I have a small request. Luna: Oh? What is it?

Imagine you are hiking now. Luna: I am hiking. The air is fresh. I see a sign. Lucas: What does the sign say? Does it show a map? Luna: It points forward. It says: Keep going. Go straight. Lucas: In Portuguese, you might hear: Siga em frente. Luna: Siga em frente. I will remember that. Siga em frente. Lucas: Good. And if you see a river crossing? Just be careful. Luna: I will check the water depth first. Estou perdido? No, I found the way. Lucas: That is the spirit. You used all our phrases. Vamos acampar. Precisamos de uma barraca. Luna: A fogueira está apagada... wait, no. It is burning now. Lucas: Exactly. And you know where the trail is. Onde fica a trilha? Right there. Luna: This was so much fun. I feel ready for my next trip. Lucas: Me too. Practice these phrases until we chat again. Luna: See you next time. Bye!
