- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hey everyone. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: It really is. We have covered a lot of ground lately. From hiking gear to kitchen utensils. Luna: Yeah. And last time we talked about online shopping. Which is great if you hate leaving the house. Lucas: Right. But sometimes you just want to walk into a real store. Feel the fresh bread. See the colors. Luna: Oh, I miss that. The smell of a bakery aisle. So today we are going to the supermarket. Lucas: Exactly. A basic grocery trip. Simple, useful phrases. Let us start with finding things. Luna: Okay. If I need milk, how do I ask? Where is it? Lucas: You say: Onde fica o leite? Slowly. Onde... fica... o... leite? Luna: Onde fica o leite? Lucas: Perfect. Onde fica o leite? It means 'Where is the milk?' Luna: Onde fica o leite? Got it. That was easy. Lucas: Let us try one more turn of it. Just to lock it in. Onde fica o leite? Luna: Onde fica o leite? Lucas: Good. Now, imagine you found the milk. But you see the price tag and it looks expensive. Luna: Oh no. How do I ask the price? Specifically for bread. Lucas: You say: Quanto custa o pão? Listen closely. Quanto... custa... o... pão? Luna: Quanto custa o pão? Lucas: Yes. Quanto custa o pão? It means 'How much does the bread cost?' Luna: Quanto custa o pão? Okay. I can remember that. Lucas: Let us repeat it together. One more time. Quanto custa o pão? Luna: Quanto custa o pão?

Eu... quero... pagar... com... cartão? Luna: Eu quero pagar com cartão. Lucas: Excellent. Eu quero pagar com cartão? It means 'I want to pay with card.' Luna: Eu quero pagar com cartão? That sounds very clear. Lucas: Let us say it again. Eu quero pagar com cartão. Luna: Eu quero pagar com cartão. Lucas: Perfect. Now, maybe you see a sign. Something red. A sale. Luna: Oh, yes. Sales are the best. How do I ask if there is a discount? Lucas: You say: Tem desconto? Short and sweet. Tem... desconto? Luna: Tem desconto? Lucas: Yes. Tem desconto? It means 'Is there a discount?' Luna: Tem desconto? I love that one. It saves money. Lucas: It does. Let us repeat it. Tem desconto? Luna: Tem desconto? Lucas: Good. Last phrase. You bought everything. You need a bag. Luna: Sometimes they charge for bags. Right? How do I ask if it is free? Lucas: You say: A sacola é grátis? Listen carefully. A... sacola... é... grátis? Luna: A sacola é grátis? Lucas: Yes. A sacola é grátis? It means 'Is the bag free?' Luna: A sacola é grátis? Oh, I hope it is. Lucas: Let us say it one more time. A sacola é grátis? Luna: A sacola é grátis? Lucas: Wonderful. Let us review what we learned today. Start with finding items. Luna: Right. Onde fica o leite? Where is the milk? Lucas: Then checking prices. Quanto custa o pão? How much is the bread? Luna: Then payment. Eu quero pagar com cartão. I want to pay with card. Lucas: And asking for deals. Tem desconto? Is there a discount? Luna: And finally, the bag. A sacola é grátis? Is the bag free? Lucas: Exactly. Five phrases for a full trip. Practice these out loud. Luna: Yeah. Imagine you are walking through the aisles. Use them. Lucas: You are doing great. Keep listening. Keep repeating.
