- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is good to be here with you again. Lucas: Today we are talking about something that affects every single day. The weather. Luna: Oh, yes. Because knowing the weather changes what you wear, right? Lucas: Exactly. And it changes your plans. So let us start with the best feeling of all. Luna: The best feeling? Is it hot? Lucas: No, not just hot. But sunny. When the sky is clear and bright. Listen closely. Lucas: Está fazendo sol. Luna: Está fazendo sol. Lucas: That means it is making sun. Or simply, it is sunny. Luna: It sounds warm. I like this phrase. Lucas: It is very common. You will hear it everywhere. Let us say it again together. Lucas: Está fazendo sol. Luna: Está fazendo sol. Lucas: Perfect. Now, imagine you look out the window. It is gray. Dark clouds. Luna: Oh no. Does that mean rain? Lucas: Maybe. But first, you describe the sky itself. Look up. What do you see? Lucas: O céu está nublado. Luna: O céu está nublado. Lucas: Good. O céu means sky. Nublado comes from nuvem, which is cloud. Luna: So, the sky is cloudy. That makes sense. Lucas: Yes. It is a state of being. The sky is currently cloudy. Luna: Let me try it again. O céu está nublado. Lucas: You got it. Very clear pronunciation. Luna: I feel like a meteorologist already. Lucas: Almost. Now, if the sky is cloudy, you might ask a question. Luna: Do you think it will rain? Lucas: Yes. Here is how you ask that naturally. Lucas: Vai chover hoje? Luna: Vai chover hoje? Lucas: Vai is the future helper. Chover is to rain. Hoje is today. Luna: Will it rain today? Yes. I understand the structure now. Lucas: Right. It is simple. Verb plus action plus time. Luna: Vai chover hoje? Lucas: Again. For practice. Lucas: Vai chover hoje? Luna: Vai chover hoje? Lucas: Excellent. Now, what if you step outside and shiver immediately? Luna: Ugh. Don't remind me. Winter is coming. Lucas: In many places, yes. How do you tell someone it is cold? Lucas: Está muito frio. Luna: Está muito frio. Lucas: Muito means very. Frio is cold. Está is it is. Luna: It is very cold. Simple and direct. Lucas: Very direct. Put on a coat. Está muito frio. Luna: Está muito frio. Lucas: One more time. Slowly. Lucas: Está muito frio. Luna: Está muito frio. Lucas: Great job. Now let us put these together in a small scene. Luna: Okay. I look at the window. Luna: O céu está nublado. Lucas: You ask me. Luna: Vai chover hoje? Lucas: I check my jacket. Lucas: Está muito frio. Luna: I remember yesterday. Luna: Ontem, estava fazendo sol. Lucas: Yesterday it was sunny. Perfect connection. Luna: It really helps to have context. Lucas: Before we go further, I want to mention something important about Fexingo. Luna: Oh? What is on your mind?
