- Luna: Hey Lucas, ready for another episode? Lucas: Absolutely, Luna. And welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo, everyone. We've got a useful little topic today. Luna: Oh, I'm curious. What is it? Lucas: Money. Well, talking about money in Portuguese. Words like 'dinheiro', 'troco', 'preço'. Luna: Oh, that's practical. I always struggle when I'm at a market. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with the basics. Repeat after me: dinheiro. Luna: Dinheiro. Dinheiro. That's money, right? Lucas: That's it. Eu tenho dinheiro. I have money. Luna: Eu tenho dinheiro. Good. Lucas: Now, when you buy something, you often need 'troco' — change. Like coins or small bills. Troco. Luna: Troco. Troco. So if I pay with a big bill, I get troco back? Lucas: Exactly. Você tem troco? Do you have change? That's a common question. Luna: Você tem troco? I'll remember that. Lucas: And then there's 'preço' — price. Preço. Luna: Preço. Preço. Lucas: So you can ask: Qual é o preço? What is the price? Or simply: Quanto custa? How much does it cost? Luna: Quanto custa? That's a good one. Let me try: Quanto custa? Lucas: Perfect. Quanto custa o pão? How much is the bread? Luna: Quanto custa o pão? I can see myself using that at the bakery. Lucas: Exactly. Now, imagine you're at a market and you buy something for five reais, but you only have a ten. You give ten and say: Pode ficar com o troco. You can keep the change. Luna: Pode ficar com o troco. That's a nice phrase. Pode ficar com o troco. Lucas: Yeah, it's polite. Or if you want the change back, you say: Eu quero o troco, por favor. Luna: Good to know both. So let me practice: Eu quero o troco, por favor. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a quick scene. I'm the vendor. You want to buy a coffee. Luna: Okay. Quanto custa o café? Lucas: Cinco reais.
